Could you make them more obscure
Metaphors more, funny bits fewer?
And could you make them long and boring?
Our aim in life is to get folk snoring
Perhaps you could take out all that's
real
Honesty, directness, popular appeal
Could you rewrite them in language
poetic?
Get out that dictionary, don't be pathetic
You should read our stuff and see what
we like
Something more like that, that's what to write
You see we want everyone writing the
same
The poetry business, a funny old game
