O POETRY HOW I HATE THEE (as Starmist) O poetry, O foul beast, how much thou waste mine time Thou makest me sweat, thou makest me bleed, for I so hate to rhyme But why am I now writing such deplorable of prose? Why that, my friends, is quite as plain as blackheads on your nose. Though I hate thee, O poetry, you must have quite some power. For when I'm done this bull refuse, I'll kill within the hour.
