All ye poets
This NaPM's been a-bustle
with all our poets singing.
Any other side hustle
and the cash registers'd be ringing.
Now it's all right if you're old with gnarly joints,
which is a great many of us here,
unafraid of death, but harbouring the fear
of losing online debates on vague technical points.
But if you're relatively young, like Rivernotch
or CRNDLSLM, all your poesy and song
is time better spent in mapping the Hmong
genome (there's money in biotech),
or developing apps for more social interaction among
the cretins of the world, to keep things chaotic.
O, poesy is such a waste of time,
they should charge a pretty penny for the deployment of rhyme.
