Brief Undergrad Thesis On Modernist Poetry
Great Thomas Jones, forgotten; Cunningham
(J.V.) ignored as if not worth a damn;
but that first class poseur, the "madman" Pound,
lacked basic insight and his unprofound
Cantos are like a blight on all poems' ground.
He, with Old Possum, schemed a highbrow scam
that academics call "High Modernists."
But when their students carve all but the gist
away, they find only a hollow sham.
