The Little Poem that Could



Every poem has higher aspirations,
Want’s to claw its way to the top
Of the pantheon,
Want’s to be remembered,
Anthologized,
Read, after all,
By school children,
Or at least one child
Who says,
What the heck,
I can do that,
And goes on to a lauded literary career,
And when asked in the famous interview
Everybody watched,
Cited that one poem
That inspired it all.
