Keep It Simple, Stupid

Readers really love aphoristic poems.

They’re short. Demand little. Read quickly.
Don’t require much in the way of thought.

Perfect poetry for an unread Age.

Write enough of them and your
readers will think you profound
because you don’t expect them to be.

You’ll be famous. For Being simple.

A simple recipe for success.
