Hello, Travesty... Poem by Herbert Nehrlich

Those who can they say
do, but those who can't my friend
they sit back and teach.

And they think they should
look at poems and critique
this would need talent.

I know a famous
and also infamous one
who took his own life.

His book did sell well
and it was not self-published
publishers vary.

I think that poems
ought to be well considered
on their own merit.

So stay away now
you are not ever welcome
you have no talent.
