Apologia Pro Prosodia Sua

That’s right: I shouldn’t have rhymed “intersects”
Last week with “texts” — it just isn’t exact.
I play with rhythm, sure, but leave intact
The rhymes I use, how each word pair connects.
As everyone who knows me recollects,
I’ve been quite vocal, as a matter of fact,
On proper rhyming. It’s a brutal act
To rhyme “has-been” with “bane.” Some hateful sects

Won’t even try to fix their nonsense. Shame!
Even a robot would improve on this!
Can’t anybody see something’s amiss
With sloppy rhymers (whom I will not name).
Poems are art, not some infernal game.
There are some lips, Olaf, I will not kiss.
