Don't Disturb My Nap!

Trying to draw attention and be notorious,

gifting our feelings to everyone,
we’re just poets being poets.

Yes, we’re in a boisterous
mood, as we stand in your sun,
trying to draw attention and be notorious

by casting our smarmy shadow on your undressed,
resting body, gentle reader, all sleek and brown.
We’re just poets being poets,

bringing our uproarious
brand of fun,
taking advantage of our notorious

attention-worthiness, flashing our sartorious
splendor all over town—
just poets being poets.

We’ll finally be declared victorious
(the gentle reader will still be lying down),
trying to draw attention and be notorious,
more boring poets.
