Poet Laureate Poem by Sidi Mahtrow

On reading Candy Elvis' critique of a laureate's book

Candy Elvis
(Not the Presley one)
Writes poems of time and bliss
She sees no need to atone.

Taking an author by the ears
And addressing her concern
Which well might bring to the eyes, some tears
For she teaches, what all should learn.

For she is not forgiving
When she discovers that there is no sense
To spend time in reading
A poem, or book for which coins have been misspent.

So cast out the author
And go to sleep
The writing is perhaps for another
But surely not bo-peep.
