A parody

Just three measly lines
Shit, what do I want to say?
Quick get to the punch…

Maybe if I allow myself a few more words,
And I change up the structure,
I can save this mess of a poem,
Tape up the metaphorical rupture.

To gain from each reader a clap and a view,
I could convert my poem into a list!

  1. 5 ways to trick the algorithm into a buck or two,
  2. Before they forget you exist.

Thank the heavens for Medium,
Says my family when I greet them,
They sit at the table,
I have to tell them a fable,
’Cause I don’t have enough money to feed em.

If only I could stop rhyming,
Put an end to this bullshit I’m typing.
I could stop hearing all of this whining,
And realise, that the god damn sun is shining.
