Poetry for people who hate poetry

Mrs Amanda McKittrick Ros

I love you so dearly because

of your delicate prose

which many a soul knows

and your poems divine

which far outshine

those who hate you - much to their loss.

Your power to simplify

even the greatest of things

made your verses such a treat

"Creation be!" you wrote

"And lo! Creation was!"

How can we mortals compete?

The critics - those bastards - how dare

they your matchless perfection compare

to aught even in jest

you're clearly the best

'specially when the day of eggs is here

They fail to see the glory of your greatest creations

which give all your fans the greatest elations

as Irene Iddlesleigh and Delina Delaney

face alliterative tribulations

And against swearing in women you rail

and quite rightly declare it beyond the pale

your ire makes us take you in close to our hearts

and agree that such women are indeed "dirty clarts"

History will judge you unique

a literary doyenne

to those who treasure your prose

and still thirst for aught from your pen.
