Upon Receiving Harsh Criticism, The Poet Gets Drunk And Reflects
You think I'm not able to? Well, I can
take a few simple iambs and stack 'em,
like Christopher Walken says pelican,
like James Gandolfini says whack 'em.
The pedigree? Daniel Day-Lewis.
The swiftness? Suzuki Ichiro.
I'm a poetry heavyweight who is
a cross between Hulk and DeNiro.
You are spiteful and vengeful, a meanie
who is waiting for old age to set in,
so take your Federico Fellini
and stick it like Mary Lou Retton!
-----
Yes, Mary Lou Retton. The poem didn't quite go where I wanted it to. The title is accurate and true to life, if I remember correctly.
