Viva Retorica
this is a wondrous poem fine
with no content nor heavy line
just therefore it should get an award
oh the soundtrack is so fucking smart
so present-day yet elevated
all about life and death lucidly stated
straight from the country and just so true
telling of love and the utterly wicked and woo
and in between the lines all dressed up in white
the bridesmaids the pagemen who in rhyme delight
look how in person with scorchéd breast
trips over her own rhetorical anapaest
for a final embarrassing stride
the devious devious bride
