'' You'll Never Please Them All '' Poem by Bri Mar

'' You'll Never Please Them All ''



Do not rehearse,
Just write a verse,
Let it have rhythm and flow,
Make it diverse,
Let your audience immerse,
Your morals you mustn't forego.

You cannot swear,
Don't you dare,
No lewd or libidinous behaviour,
Show you care,
Make the reader aware,
Of morality, you are its saviour.

No slagging off,
The poor or the toff,
We're all equal in whatever you write,
No nose in the trough,
Nobody can scoff,
Ensure everyone's filled with delight.

No blatant lies,
In any disguise,
Don't you dare be uncouth,
What you devise,
You can always revise,
Try not to stray from the truth.

A clear state of mind,
It must be refined,
So that everyone who reads it is cheered,
Please bear in mind,
All of humankind,
To your work, they must be endeared.

May I request,
You try your best,
Can it really be too much to ask?
After being pressed,
He refused my request,
He said it's an impossible task.

There'll be those struck dumb,
Others may succumb,
But reality you cannot forestall,
The rule of thumb,
You can please some,
But,

‘' You'll Never Please Them All ‘'
