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.
