The boastful bard by Grant Harbison



If words are a poet’s tool
Then Billy Bull’s tool is humungous to say the least
Wordy wise
With a vocabulary of incredible size
His poems are perfectly pieced
A wordsmith wizard
Billy excels
He’s poetically profound
Without doggerels
But Billy has swagger
He’s a perpetual bragger
Who persistently proclaims he’s the best
Billy the bard
He’s a bit of a card
And none would ever contest
Condescending and rude
He’s one to elude
The pedantic poetry pest
