A Rhyming Poem

Oh, no, no, no! See poems don't rhyme
At least the good ones won't
They haven't rhymed for quite some time
So when it comes to rhyming---don't

We need dark and dismal and really sad
And rhyming makes poems fun
We need something to say, "Man's really bad
And has been from day one"

I know. I know. You're young and free
And have never coped with stress
But life is just catastrophe
So catch up with the rest

If a poem doesn't change the world you see
Or at least give it a valiant try
Then it suffers from mediocrity
That's the way it is. I don't know why

Now go write something extremely tragic
Not beautiful garbage like this
Poems need reality; not all this magic
That's just the way life is
