You have just brought a tear,
To an old man's eye,
Not from any sentimentailty,
In it abug did fly.
Or maybe it was a pesky form of,
Buzzing killer bee,
I'm off the track yet again,
It's so easy - do you see.
Your poem was a thing of beauty,
The rhythm was quite good,
The way you worked in your subjects,
Pleased me where I stood.
Your rhyming scheme was crafted well,
The scheme was good, too,
The only thing I didn't like,
Was the self-beration doen by you.
Don't have a go at yourself,
Enjoy the poetic ride,
Any criticism of your work,
Is completely unjustified.
So, write down such things often,
To the very moon do howl,
And how 'bout reworking the tune of "Batman",
For the Ode to Night Owl?
Thus, you have pleased me greatly,
And to help your work to grow,
A membership to the Poetry Bastards,
Is the gift that I bestow.                                                    

Good job!
