My Comment When The Poet Denied the Rant

He wrote a wonderful rant about
somebody's criticism of his poems.
I never noticed the trouble

somebody said he had.
I told him the one thing
you have to watch when you

write a rant is the glorious high you get.
It makes you selfish.
He blushed saying it was

just a spoof. But this was no spoof.
I told him how much he enjoyed the bitter juice.
I told him I can tell.
