Entitled?

Well . . . speaks for itself?

Comments welcome!

Cheers!

As ever!

Entitled?


I think I'll start unmetrical
because that is who I am
I'll start without a rhythm because
that's just who I am, (or am I?)

I think I'll have a jab at those
who think they are most poetical 
and then I'll stick my spear
in those who are near (nice rhyme here!)
to being kind of metrical 

I think I'm clever  - in fact I know I am
I'm really quite extraordinary!
So I joined GW in the vain hope
Some publisher might find me out of the ordinary.

I pay no attention to Stephen Fry - 
I mean, why should I bother?
My rhymes are sublime -
My meter fine
So why should I even . . .? Oh damn and blast !

[I mean even I don't want to repeat myself too often! Ho! Oh dear - you're not laughing? Why not? I demand to know! Okay, I'll buzz off to the Comedy Section . . .]

Hehehe. I actually really liked this! I've seen nothing like it before!  
 
I like the self-reflexive style you have going and I especially liked the '(nice rhyme here)' line 
 
*smiles* 
 
 
Very good.

Amusing? A little. 
 
I've just posted on a different poem that I'm not a fan of poetry about poetry. When our seeing eye meets our brown-eye, things tend to get a little unpleasant. :grin  
 
Having said that, in fairness, I've done it myself - on more than one occasion.

Well that was different! 
 
In a good way, I think :P 
 
Here, have a gold star.

A little undercurrent going on here, Katie. I think I know who you mean. But you could have pushed the satire a lot further to really mimic that style!
Ah yes!

Thanks V. 
 
A little undercurrent, yes . . . 
 
I don't believe in pushing the boat out in these circumstances . . .  
 
Beware a possible pm . . .
