Thank you, Anni. Maybe I'm a masochist because I do like making things difficult for myself. I considered rhyming each line as well, but that was a bridge too far. Perhaps next time...
The poor man is described as impecunious;
we assume that he is never studious
and often we label him pecunious
while declaring him anything but genius.
And so with a load of Latin euphemisms
we observe the man through some prisms
and pretend we don’t see the great schism
between his life and ours that’s arisen.
Line count: 8
Rhymed aaaa bbbb
