Poetic Aspirations Poem by Joe Hughes

I'll never be a Tennyson,
A Wordsworth or Shakespeare.
My verses - rarely deep -
Are in a different stratosphere.

I'll never be a Milligan,
Pam Ayres or Ogden Nash.
I wish I had a little bit
Of their poetic dash.

I'll never be a Roald Dahl,
John Betjeman or John Keats.
I'll have to aim a little lower
With my poetic feats.

Then suddenly I make it
To the top of the best seller's chart!
But I awaken from my dream -
Poemhunter's more my art!
