Poetry Court

You are hereby accused
Of crimes against poetry
How do you plead?
Not guilty you say?
Let us hear the evidence
Did you or did you not
Wilfully and recklessly
On more than one occasion
Resort to rhyming couplets
And is it true or false
That you did knowingly
Use that word - ‘love’
And try to deny if you will
That you showed complete
And utter disregard for
The laws of modernism
By negligently and with
Malice, fail to mention
Or even allude to one
Myth or mythical character
And to make matters worse
Not a whiff of a canto
No numbered stanzas
And you had the audacity
To fail to mitigate your crimes
With the simple inclusion
Of your middle initial
When signing your name
But it does not stop there
Where in your, so called
Poetry, are the indigenous
Or the icons of our landscape
I’ll tell you where they are
Nowhere! Yes, that’s right
Not a skerrick, and furthermore
No redeeming references
To either the greats of
Literature or for that matter
Any sign of light hearted
Condescension of our
Beloved minorities
In particular the Semites
And the homosexuals
Guilty I say
Guilty
Guilty
