This poem is no more. <br />It has ceased to be. <br />It's expired and gone to meet its maker. <br />This is a late poem... <br />Bereft of life, it rests in peace. <br />If you hadn't nailed it to the page, <br />it would be pushing up daisies. <br />It's rung down the curtain <br />and joined the choir invisible. <br />This is an ex-poem..<br /><br />Michael Shepherd<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/monty-python-does-poetry-criticism/
