Suppose this post were written so
It self-illustrated: take a doe
Peaceful and quiet in a field of grass
About to get shot in the ash
Tree grove it calls its home
By a hunter on the roam
But the doe is lucky as ever can be
The hunter, that morning, had just watched “Bambi”.
The example take a double life
One strand explicit, the other rife
With self-reference
What’s your preference?
Does this comment make you bored?
Is it obvious and hackneyed, its conceit absurd?
Wedged in between so many others
I know that if I had my druthers
I’d skip it, or rip it, in general stand up it
But I cannot ignore its rhyming couplet.
You might say that it’s gimmicky.
I don’t mind; in that sense, it mimics me.
