war_poetryA Good Poem
I like a good poem
one with lots of fighting
in it. Blood, and the
clanging of armour. Poems
against Scotland are good,
and poems that defeat
the French with crossbows.
I don't like poems that
aren't about anything.
Sonnets are wet and
a waste of time.
Also poems that don't
know how to rhyme.
If I was a poem
I'd play football and
get picked for England.
