I’m
here to pen an Englished ode
and
bugger up the form.
There’ll
be no praise nor lyric mode
so might
create a storm
‘mong
poets who, in tripsy poesy dwelling,
first
Urnified their Greeks with adulation
then
tarted up the Sun to Glorious Birth:
poets’
odes that wobbled into jelling.
Those
tacky flubs that should be on vacation
got
flobbed our way - long gone from wordy worth.
Ref.
stanza 2:
Keats, ‘Ode on a Grecian Urn;’
Wordsworth, ‘Ode: Intimations of Immortality
from Recollections of Childhood.’
