Said Can’t be Bothered to Couldn’t Care Less –
What does it matter if my poem’s a mess?
As long as my readers show it acclaim
Why on this earth should I feel any shame?
What? I use a spellcheck? Use one yourself –
Look! My dictionary’s unused upon my shelf.
A new sentence starts with a capital letter?
Try using none, you’ll find that’s better.
What’s an apostrophe? Some kind of drug?
A cocktail, new dance or a little black bug?
It’s called punctuation? You must think I’m mad?
Well I’m sure that it’s surely a new fangled fad.
Full stops finish sentences? Well, whatever next?
The way that I do it is clearly the best.
Literacy classes? You’re well behind times.
No, i’ll continu to rite wot i lyk in me rimes.
