The poet and the Public

How I'd like to be a man of the people
To write poems that widely spread
To have the public sit up and notice
And nod to every little thing
That I, ever so poetically, care to share
My poems would be talk of the town
In fame and fortune I would bathe
And the public would subtly bow as I walk by
Wondering how I ever so clever
Show what the show's all about
I would gracefully describe human nature
In a way that everyone would get
I'd share my universal wisdom
The essence of this life
And offer the promise of bliss
There would be nothing I would withhold
From the public I hold so dear
I'd help them cope with love and lust
With pain and loss and death
And all that's bright and beautiful
But alas, I am no man of the people
And my limits are ever so clear
I myself am an isolated poet
And I fear it's true what I hear:
That they don't have a way with poetry, anyway
