Satire I



According to Keats
Thought order best expressed
Is clothed in dramatic form,
Next best in rhyme and song,
And least expressed in prose.

I'm the spokesman for the throng.
Prose is largely what we are.
There's room for a bit of fluff.
Dressed up or down we like our arts
With laughs and frilly stuff.

COMMENTS OF THE POEM
Danny Draper 17 July 2012

Here! Here! we do like our frilly and frothy stuff. Mr Keats while a thorough poet could not have conceived our world today where every second person wants to be famous and so dramatic form is so reduced to mediocrity and therefore poor form.
