Oh Don’t Mind Me If I Patronise
I’m Mr Delphic In Disguise.
And Should You Think My Words Lack Weight
You Will, If You-‘re Not Thinking Straight!
I-‘ve Made It Clear To Those With Sense
The Greatest Rhymes Can-‘t Be Immense
And If You Still Don’t Understand,
I-‘ll Blow Some Smoke And Shift My Sand.
Oh And While I’m At It Here’s My Card;
I’m More By Far Than Just A Bard.
My Well Packed Head Has Many Hats
Which Serve Me Well When Swatting Bats.
So Picture Me Behind The Scenes Then
Working Out What I’ve Said Means When
Lamont Palmer Gets Me Hot
By Claiming I Write Naught But Rot
And Drives Me Thus To Centre Stage,
To Stand Before You Here: A Sage.
So, Come Sip My Wits Then From These Lips
Grow Wise Like Me On Cryptic Tips
Oh And While I’m At It Here’s My Card;
I’m More By Far Than Just A Bard.
My Well Packed Head Has Many Hats
Which Serve Me Well When Swatting Bats.
You Should Be Grateful, All Of You
I-‘ve Time To Spare To Guide You Through
The Lessons God And I Agree
Reveal The Truths Of Poesy
And One Of Those Is This Rhyme-‘s Strength
Remember I-‘m Constrained By Length
Shorter Poems Are Much Stronger
Though You Must Wish That This Was Longer
Oh And While I’m At It Here’s My Card;
I’m More By Far Than Just A Bard.
My Well Packed Head Has Many Hats
Which Serve Me Well When Swatting Bats
