Markus, The Greatest Poet Who Ever Lived!

: : : : : : : : : : : : Imagine little Markus there, Anointed by the Lord, To write new thoughts beyond compare That rhyme with sweet accord. Such that he counts the syllables, 8-6-8-6 each verse, When he composes miracles, His wise thoughts to disperse. I envy that his heart's so blessed, I've written thousands, too, But shall I ever beat the best? And that, Markus, is YOU! Your standards thrash me every time, Your rhythms oh so deep, I'm always thinking of a rhyme, Yet end up all a heap. I won't give up and won't give in, I'll write rhymes every day, If there's one chance that I can win, I'll even fast and pray! You're just too good! Can I compete? Will editing enhance? I know that you're the one to beat, Yet do I stand a chance? But must I write three thousand more, To match your height of fame? You see, most poets folks ignore! I'm Denis Wossisname!
