[2017] In Rebuttal To The Not So Subtle And Overly Covert

    
It doesn't take much    
beating around the bush    
to oust the not so sly fox    
from its ivory hidey-hole    
   
without sacrificing poetitude    
   
or leaving your readers    
scratching their heads    
wondering,
    
What in the name of    
John Ashbery    
are your prancing ponies    
prattling on about?
   
   
There's a middle ground    
   
It may not be the High Road    
   
but at least    
you don't have to    
keep your hounds on    
such a tight leash    
   
or trample them    
with your own    
puerile ineptitude    
in giddy-upping    
the point across
