“Strictly no poetry in this area – thank you”

There is an area over ‘there!’

if you really have to recite poetry,

or you could just refrain,

apply a poetry patch,

try and give it up,

read a book,

chew on some gum,

make your mind go numb.

.

You might find

someone of a like mind,

over ‘there!’

So, please honour the signs,

and decline the proffering of rhymes.

Please.

Or we shall be operating

a ‘No Poet’ system

in your vicinity.
