Instant poetry

I gotta tell you  
writing poetry is hard  
there's fleas and poop everywhere  
and my banana bill is through the roof  
cooking and cleaning are driving me mad  
not to mention changing diapers  
all for the Goddess Calliope  
 
I've given up my dream of writing  
another War and Peace  
or even Jonathon Livingston Seagull  
I would have settled for a limerick or two  
that didn't include bananas
  
That's it I'm getting out  
for sale 100 monkeys that know their ABCs  
or and least their BANAs with refrain  
but I give you fair warning  
100 monkeys on 100 typewriters  
will not make you William Shakespeare
