Three Poets
1. THE PLAGIARIST
Careless of his debts, he never credits
submissions to the magazine he edits.
2. THE TAXIDERMIST
Her father's dead at last, the lout—
but now he's all she writes about.
3. THE ASSASSIN
His verse means less to the world of letters
than the bad reviews he gives his betters.
