Meater is Neater

Meter is Neater

That funny type of wit that can expose
Itself as purposefully polyphonic prose
Is so much neater, when placed into meter.
Even random raving rants simply sound sweeter.
The “bumpa, bumpa, bumpa” beat of Pope
Should give any aspiring artist hope
That even your mangled and off-beat tries
While never necessitating a Nobel Prize
Would only end up sounding even worse
If not carefully crafted into cadenced verse.
