Silly Boys Against Rhyme Poem by Herbert Nehrlich
Silly Boys Against Rhyme
Let us welcome the past and embrace the old masters
see Herr Goethe and Schiller and rhyme,
not the modern, incompetent line-breaking blasters
of a silly and empty new time.
One replaces the old if the new can be shown
to be better for angels and man
write your free verse and praise all the talents you own
just remember, so few of you can.
