The One Thing He Left Out

 They say there was a poet long ago

Who in a dingy abbey wrote a book

That encompassed all the universe of things

And presented it to others for a look

Good man, the scholar noted with a frown

Indeed you’ve covered every single thing

But left out one that seems to be a need

The book you wrote does not include this book


The poet is a myth as well you know

But every poet writes themselves to here

And in the act of recognizing this

They learn to choose what they consider dear
