Ok My Little Ernest, following frosty Robert,
A touch of Anne and a dabble of Dickens
By a coupling of satirical satire, E.E but never coming,
Error 404 Page Not Found.

Oh thy want to be Walt,
But whiter than Whitman,
And not quite as white as Walt.

You can never come within a stone’s throw of Thoreau,
Though never such a poet as Poe,
You have as much potential as a parakeet,
But you are not there Yeats.

But someday you might,
If you keep on trying,
You can quit half-rhyming,
As an ill illegitimate Shakespeare rhyme scheme.
