Getting Pithy - A Word to the Wise Poet

Anger and poetry
do not mix. You
must get to the
pith of the matter
and not into a
pissing contest.

A wind might
come up and
blow the piss
in your face,
your piss or
your opponent's.

You cannot write
poetry with piss,
rank and acrid,
on your face,
your face or
your opponent's.
