THE LAKE WOBEGON EFFECT (A poem dedicated to a plagarist I caught in the act)

THE LAKE WOBEGON EFFECT

In a cold Northern Minnesota city
There lives a writer named ‘Kristal Leebrick’
Already a published author
With several books to her credit
And a writer for ‘The Park Bugle'
A paper she also edits
Talented Kristal still yearned
For more artistic recognition
So she entered a poetry contest
Called ‘Love Letters, a poem competition'
Sponsored by Minnesota’s favorite pretentious son
‘Garrison Keillor’, the great blue nosed one
Of  the radio series,‘Prairie Home Companion’
After the judges careful deliberation
Of the thousands of submissions  
Kristal’s Leebrick’s poem ‘New year love’
Was their winning selection
Telling a story of her very first kiss
Detailing every aspect of her awkward tryst
With a young lad she met in North Dakota
Her memoir detailed ever iota
Ending her poem with the line
“But I can't remember your name.”
Problem is my dear Kristal Leebrick
I remembered a poem much the same
“Snake Skin Boots”, by the great Felix Dennis
When I heard your poem,
I instantly remembered it
You’re not a poet, my dear Kristal
No, not one bit
You’re nothing more, than just plagiarist
Living in a city of hy-poet-crites

From St. Paul Minnesota; home of many poets, that know very little poetry.
