The Last Couplet









The Last Couplet 



Feted and decorous jesters of spoken sound 

Gathered a circle of romantics into a round 




To initiate their exiguous songs 

Crumpled into verse, sonnet; all sort of doggerel wrongs 



Written and sung with plaintive tone so to disabuse 

The objective of the critic’s tongue of stinging refuse 



Flavored bitters and morsels of disfavor and condemnation 

Offered as the last course - at the table of predation.
