Analysis of Poet rater



POET RATER:
If you really care about the write
The act of rating deserves to be right
If your mission is only to slap on one word
To simply get yours published it all seems absurd
For the system to work and to be fair to all
We should teach and learn or the framework will fall
But some always seem to just give it a flick
One thoughtless word will just do the trick
And usually their stars never count more than three
Just to spoil something worthy of a higher degree
So just for you lazy disingenuous raters….
Here's one you can stick on your refrigerators
And other special places that we'll mention later:
“Roses are green and bananas are blue
You can stick them both firmly up your mental wazoo
It's clear you are lazy and clear you care not
For the hope of a message or the power of a thought
You know who you are and you're jerkin our chain
So we hope you come clean and don't do this again”
