Written after noting that every poet's website is accompanied by leftwing ideology...

A Conservative Poet
   (- and other oxymorons)

"A bloggin' poet I shall be!"
I said to all who wouldst read me
I called up Local 53
and asked what they would need to see.

They said I wasn't qualified,
They said George Bush I deified,
For Politics they reified
I was a con they neo-fied.

I felt as lonely as a cloud
a rightwing poet yet unbowed
chastened, yes, but still not cowed
I could not be a Maureen Dowd.

So to eyries I did repair
to ply the trade without a care
my porridge seemed a meagre fare,
did Politics myself ensare?
