To be a poet is one of the hardest things one can ever do,
For it leaves people wide-open to ridicule,

To be a poet is one of the hardest things one can ever do,
And it is something definitely not taught in school,

Oh to be a poet is one of the hardest things one can ever do,
For it obeys no coherent or stringent rules,

Oh to be a poet is one of the hardest things one can ever do.

And worse still should it be misunderstood.
