Today is world poetry day
When every budding poet knows
You have to speak in poetry
And not one wasteful word of prose
I tried to speak in poetry
Asking prices from the plumbers
One cut the call. Seriously.
I got strange looks from the builders
I said, "Write down your quotation
So that my husband can compare
And please punctuate the numbers
Don't stick dots, commas, everywhere!"
Now that poetry day's over
We all breathe big sighs of relief
Poetry's best left to poets
Not busy builders, that's their belief.
