The
reason people can't stand the poetry of our times is because they can't
see the stanzas or hear the rhymes. When they don't understand what it
means, they feel it ain't worth a can of beans! Fred's poems (?) are
more like prose 'cause he doesn't like his readers to doze. He hopes
you'll smile, snicker, or laugh real deep. He'll try to keep you from
falling asleep! Click here if you want to see more really bad poetry.
