How To Beg, by Anders Carlson Wee
Will not be published, unfortunately.
Readers of Anderson Carlson Wee’s book,
Concluded the editors, after a second look,
Would not be the beggars themselves,
But only those who pity them, the Wee friends and elves,
Who work on their expensive MFAs all night,
Writing empathic poems until everything is alright.
But those who love beggars better? They gave the editors a fright.
Begging is a true and honored technique,
And makes more in a minute than poetry can in a week.
