Massey’s comments. At Pete Massey’s Poetry Emporium, we offer the distinguished consumer of les beaux-arts an extensive line of satiric haiku ond dis, mes chers, is one of our most exquisite offerings. In a mere 17 syllables, we’ve captured the self-importance, self-aggrandizing, and narcissism of the poetic enterprise in its romantic form — culminating in the knockout punch of the conclusion, where the real purpose of such poems is stated in its plainest and most direct form. How much is this rare jewel? you ask the proprietor. My fine sir, if you have to ask the price, such a bauble is not for you!
