So you want to be a poet?

Here's a simple exercise.

  1. My song about despair
    has to do with my bad hair
    upon waking it is wild
    and a brush can't make it mild.
    Some water here and there
    "Still unruly," laughs my hair
    What the heck can I do next??
    From this hair, I'm really vexed!
    Finally, a soaked washcloth
    dripping and shimmering with froth
    onto my head and now the hair
    falls just right in the morning air.

    When sung to Piddle the cat, he was not moved.

  2. Oops, I just realized that the link was bad-- clicking that was supposed to link to Doug Savage's site, Savage Chickens (or just the cartoons about poetry)
