What shook the stage, left people to stare <br />Ah, luckless poet! stretch your lungs and roar <br />From heads to ears, from ears to eyes <br />To know the poet from the man of rhymes <br />Let me for once instruct the times <br />Who pants for glory, shall desist from reading poetry <br />The silly Bard grows fat and is forgotten <br />And leaves a sensless worthless crowd <br />With little or no reward <br /> <br />Written Febuary 2007<br /><br />allan james saywell<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/to-read-or-not-to-read/
