I have standards— don't bleed on me paltry mist-eyed blather I have standards so don't bother me with your ghastly sought after chatter— flung too quick at the page a flick/ a flack a-tickety-tack I have standards to adhere to today— to cement wisdom into my brain don't waste words on words every damn day to dress your space bargained for pay— I have standards that don't lean that way.
