POETS by MORRIS ABEL BEER

First Line: IF A POET SINGS BECAUSE HE MUST
Last Line: HE SHOULD POLISH PANS INSTEAD OF VERSE!
Subject(s): MONEY; POETRY & POETS;

If a poet sings because he must,
Time cannot turn his song to dust;
But if he sings to fill his purse,
He should polish pans instead of verse!
