The thing is, Roger, at the time I wrote this I wasn't trying to be funny. I was simply indulging in some cheap therapy (read wallowing in self-pity), and while I knew it wasn't a good poem, I didn't realize its potential as a spoof until years later. That qualifies it as a Classically Bad Poem of the first order. I agree that Susan's is good as light verse. Even the title shows irony. Yours? Well, it's just not in the same league with mine.
