Nipped in the Bud


Hang it all, I say— 
One sure-fire way to cure 
That monstrous poetic 

Longing for posterity is to choke 
The issue in its infancy, leaving 
One more stubborn stillborn poet 

Decomposing in the air!

  1. No "monstrous poetic" here.

    Hang it all

    Decomposing in the air

    These two lines hold that just ferocity together.

  2. Leave it to you to look the beast straight in the eyes.

    Thanks, WB.

  3. Hang it all, Vassilis Zambaras, there can be but the one "Vazambam."

    Everything else is mere jockeying for decomposition.

  4. Now that you mention it, Vazambam does sound like a bang-up name for a race horse.

  5. Absolutely. Best moniker since Whirlaway.
