This Is My Bad Teenage Poem

This is my bad teenage poem.
I’d write a good one, you see,
but bad teenage poetry’s required instead
under US Code §80.5.3.

I wrote up my Congressman
and asked him to explain this Act.
He said the Songwriter’s Guild feared competition
and pressured to make it a fact.

I finished his letter to me
and gathered my new thoughts with awe.
Who knew that no bad teenage poem is bad;
it’s merely abiding the law!
