Dear Mr. Servant:
This post I found offensive.
For it seemed to provide
A woman with no clothes on.
At least, that was implied.I do not read your poetry
For mere licentiousness;
“She pulled it off,” indeed.
Your whole dang blog’s become a mess.I will not be a party to
Some other WordPress whore:
So cancel my subscription,
I’m not reading anymore.
I read these words in wonder.
Could this person be real?
The woman in that piece had just
Pulled off a business deal.
Which her close friends had doubted.
I thought it only zen
To celebrate her talent and
Her business acumen.
But somehow, he saw something else
Not a pure celebration;
But poets always have been prone
To misinterpretation.
But wait a minute, one more thing,
I knew that sounded funny –
This guy had a subscription?
Who’s been getting
All the money?
Sounds like letters I’ve read in Playboy before. (Oops, did I just admit that?)
It’s a joke, right?
Yes.
Perfect! Love it.
Dear Owen,
I agree with Lola. I did not get that. It goes from way too serious to way too light and casual, which seemed a little jarring.
Best and Regards,
Sam.
Ironic title though. In the email listings I did not know where you were going to take the writing piece.
Regards,
Sam.
