Dear old chap,

I am simply a poet 
- a lyricist, a bard.
Spare us poets.
Dont come down too hard.

Like all poets these days, 
I program for a living.
While I wax poetic and wait for
Nobel to be a giving.

I victimize you all,
The Baba, the Pope.
Did that rhyme ?
Dont think so - nope.

I am a skeptic of 
All things supernatural.
If you cant prove it,
Dont tell me - it aint factual.

If Safforon is your color
Or a black petti-coat.
If you are a cross-dresser
Or you like Langot.

Begone go hide I say unto thee
Begone, dont save me 
Varmoose! Shoo! flee!
Ay Carramba! Dont try to save me.


Ranga.
