#17 - poet berates hissel / for choosing villanelle

 

I typed the title into an AI

Ain't smart enough for this shit –

repeating all these lines

I shoulda stuck to sonnets;

and tho I am complicit,

I reckon my designs

ain’t smart enough for this shit.

I could be watching cricket,

instead of wrenching rhymes –

I shoulda stuck to sonnets.

 

But nah, I thought I’d risk it,

ignoring all the signs

I ain’t smart enough for this shit.

  

Well, sod this for a biscuit,

and screw these dumb confines:

I shoulda stuck to sonnets.

 

This form, I’ll only don it

a coupla few more times –

I’m smart enough for this shit,

but shoulda stuck to sonnets.
