Pure Hogwash
© 1972 Robert E. Dalton

    I have often wondered what it is that makes a poet famous, and after many long and sometimes boring sessions with the works of famous poets, I have formed what I believe to be the only logical explanation. I think their successes may be attributed to their abilities to write in such a manner that the writings cannot be understood.

    It is a natural tendency of human beings to assume that a passage of poetry they cannot understand must have been written by a literary genius. After all, the majority of those who indulge in deep perusals of the written word deems itself to be of a somewhat higher intellect than the average nitwit. It therefore follows that anything that it cannot readily interpret is automatically the work of a mental giant.

    This is pure hogwash! I have attempted to illustrate this fact in the following barrage of unfathomable rhyme. These lines cannot be easily understood by any reader (unless, of course, he or she is a practiced peruser of Dr.Seuss) but they are, most certainly, not the works of a literary genius... and I should be the one to know. After all, I'm the genius who wrote them.
