Preach What You Practice

For those who write to grind their axes:
try use an essay for a form.
A sonnet praising death and taxes
will surely violate the norm.
Resist the urge to drone and lecture.
This may be only a conjecture
but if you lack a comic gift,
a limerick about grift
will surely send your readers screeching,
in search of consonants and vowels.
Your movement's better left for bowels,
so let me join their voice, beseeching:
Enough with it's not me, it's you.
You want to write? Say something new.
