  Wendy Cope
You have no hope
If you think the Muse will make you rich,

You may get fame
And make your name,
But the little lady is a bitch!

Whate'er you do
When writing verse
Won't earn you any money,

The joke's on you
And what is worse
It isn't very funny.

I didn't read the article, but this poem means I don't have to. Hilarious and sardonic. Also painfully truthful.
