Make sure you have rhythm and humour and rhyming,

Bout puppies or colours, bout something slimy?

Originality please, its one of its keys,

But this is one that you shouldn't do,

As the poem of poems' like a smelly old shoe.

It lacks many things, like, me and you.

Cause humour me not, a poem is a thing,

One to be cut short.

And short I guess, widely differs from this,

Otherwise some words, you'll surely miss.

I better get going before it comes true,

And in case it's not clear, it's written for you.
