A Poet!  A Poet!
My kingdom for a Poet!
One who will slay bad verse with a pen,
One who will stimulate the love of words again,
One who will give us reason to read,
And please give me one who won't get drunk on the Mead...
A Poet!  A Poet!
My kingdom for a Poet!

A pen!  A pen!
My kingdom for a pen!
Got the Poet, but he's unprepared,
I can't read his poems, for they're written on air,
His Muse is rolling her eyes in shame,
'You're going to get us killed! I won't take the blame!!'...
A pen!  A pen!
My kingdom for a pen!

A Muse!  A Muse!
My kingdom for a Muse!
The last one quit, walked out on the job,
After she bonked the Poet's head with a door knob,
He's sitting there, staring into space,
As far as Poets go, this Poet's a disgrace...
Forget the Muse,
OFF WITH HIS HEAD!

A Poet!  A Poet!
My kingdom for a Poet!
Sorry about that...that was a bit grim,
I did everything but write the poems for him,
I gave him the pen and a new Muse,
Hey!  This isn't hard, I could write them, break the news!
A Poet!  A Poet!
The Kingdom has a new Poet!

And I am the greatest Poet in the land!

Doesn't sound like you need a poet. What's wrong with a little drunk every now and then, it helps cope. You are too hard on these poets, no wonder no wants to stick around and get bonked on the head. LOL
