write a poem
everyone's a critic
read a poem
everyone's a philosopher
fold the paper carrying the poem
into an origami aeroplane
aim high, let it go
everyone's a child at heart
hopeful dreamer, lover of the good 
unschooled slackline walker, poet
write a poem
do it for mama
it's the least you can do
do it for the cause
every little helps
televise the performance
in the company of celebrities
wear a gibbon suit
stand on one leg if you must
just do it, you know how
in the spilling of ink
no-one dies, everything is ok
in the ensuing mess what may stick
may hold incredible value
inspired words of honoured poets
mark a germinal stage in culture
carried over generations
urgently blooming
about this moment do you see
by all means, feel free, please
go poeming now

Wonderfully witty, Adam. I suppose that makes me a philosopher now. 😊
