Stay Humble

We are not the big shots we think we are;
Not kings, Lords, or Magna Carta Barons,
Or any kind of Hollywood star,
Or any constable friendly Karens.

We are poets of The Underground Deep!
We are devoted to elegant verse,
And the craft of it, even as we sleep,
To all things honorable and perverse...

For nothing exists in the day or night
That cannot be improved with our skill,
At graciousness and poetic insight
Mixed with occasional erotic thrill;

That sweet icing on the existence cake
Which has every poet learning to bake!
