For the splendid art of versification
I have found an adoration recently
But uninitiated in it’s intricacies
Is quite sadly what I happen to be
I possess no knowledge of composition
Nor do I know of devices poetic
Yet through utilization of some hacks
My verses turn out far from pathetic
In the sea of my subpar linguistic skills
On tides of vocabularic deficiency
My boat of hack poetry stays afloat
Due to my thesaurus raiding frequency
A simple consistency of syllables
Effectively conceals my incompetence
And by the grace of fancy synonyms
I merrymake in my feigned eloquence
My expertise in the concept of rhythm
Is a hundred percent non-existent
so I switch and shift my words around
Until the piece sounds fairly pleasant
Very shamelessly I search the internet
In pursuit of rhymes for the words I tote
And in this way despite my shortcomings
I row forth in my hack poetry boat
.
