Self-Proclaimed Critics Poem by Margaret Alice Second

Oh, what travesty, oh abomination, not only does
the child sing better than before - she's enjoying a
carefree youth participating in athletics and playing
hockey, taking music lessons - all during a normal
school day so she's free to excel in academics and
do charity concerts and sing with every great name
in the music industry; while Mr Sour-Grapes frowns

Then hysterically proclaims he NEVER watches the
appearances of famous kids, acting or dancing and
of course, singing - his personal expertise; they are
incompetent, should be imprisoned - till old enough
not to steal the shine from older contestants - read
mediocre and boring and untalented wannabee's -
I'm bored, so read the self-proclaimed critics making

Fools of themselves on public forums; they're idiots,
I know, and should be ignored, but I'm so surprised
by their inability to concede with grace that they've
been cast as Salieri and not Mozart in life's stakes,
prancing snobbishly, showing off bias & ignorance:
for shame, it's the Internet experience, everybody
can rant and rave and who better than a mediocre

Opera singer to make a fool of themselves…
