Tearfulness, Petulance, Self-Pity,
Draw Undesirable Attention To Yourself,
You-‘ll End Up Like Your Poem On A Shameful Shelf
If You Show These Feelings In A Ditty
Hopefulness, Wrapped In A Sunny Smile,
Helps You To Blend With All The Madding Crowd,
Poetic Petulance Must Be Disallowed,
For, Like Self-Pity, It-‘s Gone Out Of Style
