An Editor Of Passion

They say I’m a poet of passion,

     That my poems are passionate things;

But this is said only by rivals,

     I care nothing at all for their flings.

I say there’s no passion about me,

     And especially none when I write;

But the editor who getteth my verses,

     They say his poor face is a sight.
