Poet

POET:

1. A person born with the instinct to poverty.
2. One whose ideas of the beautiful and the sublime get him in jail or Potter's Field.
3. The patron saint of landlords.
4. A worthless, shiftless chap whose songs adorn the libraries of fat shopkeepers and paunchy Philistines one hundred years after the chap has died of malnutrition.
5. A dope-fiend.
