Its prose nice and clear that I read with great favor

What do we have here, for all to see?
A poem by Tony, as fine as can be.
(For a very long time, I have been wise to Tony,
Denies he’s an English major – a buncha baloney.)
And so, Tony, Tony, take a look around,
See that snow, piled high, out there on the ground.
It’s a Currier & Ives scene that will surely inspire,
You will stop all-day snoring in front of the fire.
At last, Mr. Tony, you will end this ruse,
You will open up your laptop and invoke your muse.
Move over Rod McKuen. (Am I showing my age?)
TOTV’s Poet Laureate will take the stage.
Your life as a poet, Tony, will now begin,
And we will sit back and watch and say we knew you when.

PS: Mr. Tony, it looks like you are now ready for membership in the Professional Organization of English Majors. (POEM) heard about on
Prairie Home Companion.
