My stupid text-book in my "Just Barely Accredited Master's Progam" says that a villanelle cannot tell a story.... I disagreed....
SO MANY STORIES LOSERS TELL
So many stories losers tell!
Grade-school nerd boys without lives
Who have no faith in villanelle
They answer to the high school bell
And on the high school paper strive
So many stories losers tell!
Scorned in college, pale, unwell
Then with no hope of jobs or wives
Who have no faith in villanelle
Next work on novels that don’t sell
Write poems that spread hives
So many stories losers tell!
Finally the journal’s venal spell
They savage real writers lives;
Who have no faith in villanelle
Now let us pray they rot in hell
Neath dishonored unmarked graves
So many stories losers tell
Who have no faith in villanelle
