I have met a number
of famous writers in my time.
Nearly all have turned out
to be disappointing as people.
Bukowski turned out to be
an obnoxious, drunken lout.
The next time you are reading
one of your favorite’s poems
keep this firmly in mind.
There is a lesson in it.

If you like this piece, and can afford it, please consider sending me a buck or two at Paypal. No Paypal account is required. Invest in a poet. I may be the next Microsoft. Untold riches may await.
