Heckles for a Poetry Reading:
“The 15th century called! They don’t want their iambic pentameter back…cos it sounded like ass even then!”
“Gotta a haiku for ya buddy:
I hear your poem
It sucked bad when I read it
But it’s worse out loud.”
“There once was a poet named Ralph!
Who thought too much of himself!
He got up on stage
and fart noises he made
But they all came outta his mouth!”
“Every generation of poets is scared they’ll be the last generation of poets! Congrats on proving the last generation right!”
