- Night Class
-
- Over at the junior college I'm in
a class at night.
- Concrete walls and map rolls
hanging
- overhead, fluorescent
light.
-
- I signed up for poetry 101
- 'cause I'm gonna learn to
write
- about the cowboy ranch life
- clever rhymes that will
delight.
-
- But its been six weeks since class
begun
- and I'm having pangs of
fright
- nobody's mentioned Waddie
Mitchell!
- Can you sense my dreadful
plight?
-
- How can I learn to coin a
phrase
- with a clever cowboy bite
- if all I read is ancient
meter.
- Will Shakespeare give
insight?
