Poem #4

Bad prose arrived by post today.

Horrid dull grammarless grey

It sticks to the eye; no song to sing.

Consultant created; big bucks; still sucks.

Must have been a Santa Monica hit --

Reused; worn out; tedious prose

Making the old look greyer; tired; dull.

No cry from a vivid verb;

Lacks agile adverbs active antics

Fails to offer adequate adjectives; none alive.

Bad prose arrived by post today.

Bad prose bound for recycling's bin.
