Not A Slam Poet

I'm not a 'slam poet'
my poems I do not 'slam'
I'm not a Taylor Mali
Nor a Sarah May
I perform my type of poetry
In my par-tic-u-lar way

They will not judge my poems
my poems they will not judge
it's not a competition 
a sweet po-ta-to 
to be awarded a red rosette
that says it's best in show

I'm happy that my work is good
good is work my that happy I'm 
...and I know no poet ever
a fortune at any point made
but that won't stop me writing it
I'll go on - and on - I'm afraid!
