Let's Read Poetry # 33: Dirty Cheers

in poetry •  7 years ago

Cheers, hoot!
At who?
The dirty cheerers.

Why not cheer for the fountains,
Than the hoot.



The poem is very short and curt. The theme is that of admonition. The poem is very short yet the poetry succeeds in putting his message across. It is a stern warning to praise-singers and sycophants who shout and blow their praises on their 'political hoots' whom he described as 'the hoot' whom he doesn't see as useful.
