POETS ARE DIVINE, by                    
First Line: Poets are divine,' is sometimes said
Last Line: Are really very fond of jokes!
Subject(s): Poetry & Poets


"Poets are divine," is sometimes said
Of poets, after they are dead;
While living poets are mostly jokes
To all the common run of folks.
But even so, I am content
If friends for whom my lines are meant
Shall of their time, and favor spare
To give to me the joker's share,
Because I find most worthwhile folks
Are really very fond of jokes!
