A Turd's Worth

or    
   
The Value of Romanticism    
   
"Suspicious of Reason, romanticists prefer leaps of faith --  
in addition to leaps off cliffs,  
aside from bridges."  
-- deep underground    
the poet of Reality sole grounded

Imagine if a daffodil could feel,  
when in an idyll wandering lonely by,  
some poetaster at its cup should kneel,  
to suck that dilly's filament root dry!  
Then after as they idly share a fag,  
a dirty dil unzips its golden dew,  
and sepaling the fag in one long drag,  
it pistils both beneath an English yew!  
Soon next a crowd of daft O'dils bud round,  
all swilling sweet mint tulips stoned on grass,  
till potted pollen sacs of glands unbound,  
deep plow the rhymester up his arse en masse --  
as hosts of rapt romantics serenade  
while pussywillows cattail nature's blade!
