[Newspoetry] MacArthur Grant Rant

MacArthur Grant Rant

Mailbox again bare!
Ain't no grant award notice there!
Cannot my genius be rewarded?
All be it a bit poetically sordid!
Rare indeed is my talent!
Totally modest - and yet so gallant!
Hour after hour I enjoy work!
Ultimately - am I my only perk?
Rating myself as a great world mind!

Fated just for the Foundation to find!
Excelling in the ideas of John D.!
Located eventually by trustees of Catherine T.?
Loving just my part of humanity!
Offering up myself as perfection - is not vanity!
Will I receive my due recognition another day?
Surely for my poetic bouquests they will pay - or so I say!

Debt of honesty and modesty regarding my brilliant work to Scooter, George 
W. and the Dick$ter.
