I hope your poem brings bright smiles
To the faces of your friends
For otherwise, there was no gain
By anyone, for all the pain
I suffered reading to the end
Your experiment in couplet rhyme.
--
I don't think it was worth my while.
Though I know that Suffering is Strength
I think I made a great mistake
(I know I gained a great headache)
When I tried to read your poem's length
I wish I could refund my time.
--
I wish and hope my writing style
Exacts on you a vengeful fee
I hope it gives you a migraine
As if your head was split in twain
Just like the one you gave to me!
Your poetry should be a crime.
--
And now I make apologies
To readers who have suffered through
Not just your work now, but mine.
I'll try and make this up to you.
Apologies for my long rant
Which has but slight poetic worth
When I get over this migraine
Perhaps I'll write some better verse.


Penned by my hand on the 9th of Ero, in the year 524 AF.
