Artistic Snobbery Poem by Stanley Cooper

Some fine artists snub their nose
At cartoonists whom they suppose
Fraudulently claim a legacy
In their esoteric world of artistry

Some prose writers look down upon
Poetry as just wordy come-on
The belief writing’s their exclusive domain
Shows their attitude of snob disdain

Classical lovers of Beethoven and Bach
Shouldn’t place jazz on the cheap chopping block
The artists, ‘toonists, poets and prose-ers
Are creative talents as are music composers

Their ingenuity is there for all to enjoy
The rich, the poor and the hoi polloi
Creativity, the underlying fabric of society
However framed should be viewed with propriety
