PROFESSIONALS

       VS.

  AMATEURS

I HEAR, OF COURSE BY USE OF MY EAR,

THAT THE PROFESSIONAL WRITERS,

THAT OCCUPY THIS SITE HERE,

WISH TO SEE THE AMATEURS,

FORTHWITH REMOVED, LEAVING THE SITE,

ONLY FOR THEIR HAUTINESS & MIGHT!

             IF THAT IS SO,

AS I MAY BE WRONG IN WHAT YOU SEE HERE,

WOULD THEY BE WILLING TO PAY ALL THE FEES,

THAT THE AMATEUR POET PUTS FORTH, OR IS THIS JUST A TEASE,

TO SEE WHAT RISE THEY MAY GET,

FROM THOSE OF US THAT GET IN GEAR,

TO PUT A STOP TO SOMETHING THAT COULD,

FOR ME, BRING A TEAR,

AS I HAVE FOUND FRIENDS HEREIN,

AND HAVE FOUND THAT I TRULY CAN WRITE,

WHETHER OR NOT IT IS ANYWHERE NEAR,

THAT OF THE PROFESSIONAL POET/WRITER LOCATED HERE.

SO, TO THE PROFESSIONAL, THAT WANTS THIS TO OCCUR,

            I SAY TO YOU MADAM OR SIR,

 WHETHER YOU ARE ONE THAT IS DRIVEN BY A CHAUFFEUR,

OR HAVE YOUR BODY RUBBED BY THAT OF A MASSEUR,

THOSE OF US THAT ARE STILL AMATEURS,

We are just starting out, as you did once,

we may seem to you to be that of a dunce,

but we try our damn best to keep this site,

that of the best we have to offer, and that is only right!
