Stand By Your Work

Writers should stand by their work no matter what

Poets always stand by your work
Difficult though that can be
Baby knows what he's talking about
He posted Little Eve

I also posted Hookers and Crack
and a few other colorful rhymes
I'm sure pissed off many a viewer
who thought me a bag of slime

Though poetry is an artistic form
as such it is subjective
Does it only have artistic merit
If it's heavy and reflective

Did sir mix a lot pen high art
When he wrote Baby Got Back
Or is it just an embarrassment
to admit you like that track

Should we study all the classics
To fill our knowledge gap
All I know are marching chants
and old school gangsta rap

Take some classes from professors
Who published some piece of crap
Hey the old fart got some tenure
Bragging rights to flap his yap

Stay at home online study
With some bullshit university
Spend your time and money
on that liberal arts degree

So now your writing is top shelf
You may find this quite absurd
When you write offensive rhymes
You stand by every word

Some will tell you you're a genius
You know that's a bunch of s**t
You know you wrote an ugly poem
It's your work you stand with it

You are what you write on the WC
      That much is just a fact
So boys and girls I got no regrets
For Little Eve or Hookers and Crack

Quite inspiring, though I crumple most of my poetry . . .

[Baby Ricochet]

So long as it defiantly stands on the WC you're good

My poetry could be deleted without being missed.Your art, however, is so much higher than mine...

Ric, I agree with your authors note completely ....I`d just add a few words to it:
Be your own best critic....that way, you`ll always be happy to stand by your work.
This is excellent, entertaining poetry, man. P.
