Ode to Dud Allende
He wandered lonely as a cloud
That floats on high oer vales and hills
When all at once he heard the crowd
Moaning as though through fish’s gills
T’was his opponent he suddenly knew
That shadow that passed him by
Bundi Aki had turned the screw
And he had conceded yet another try

Amidst the whinge
And in mid-whine
Poetry is but pearl
Before us rugby loving swine

The contents of a private spank bang become influences in society. As we have learned in the West, subservience to LGBT et al ends civilizations. Ende.

Considering the avenues this board explores
Surely, poetry is a most harmless cause
Rooi's apparently a prosing snob
Yet, remains one rhyme away from a hopeless sob

". . . oh wait you didn’t know it was Wordsworth?"
"Was" being the operative word . . .

No…the operative words are ‘didn’t know’. Look up ‘The Daffodils”.
There, now you are just a little better schooled.

Not saying it wasn't a Wordsworth poem before you butchered it.

Chat GPT, write An Ode to Delande....
Error: "no data". "Chat GPT has no record of anything creative associated with Delande".

Here's a chat GPT poem...
In a world where perception often reigns supreme,
Lived a man named Allende, a fascinating theme.
No skill had he, no talent to display,
Yet convinced the world in a peculiar way.
Much like the emperor with "clothes" unseen,
Allende wore his confidence, a deceptive sheen.
With words and gestures, he'd weave a grand tale,
A narrative so captivating, it would often prevail.
No tangible expertise, no mastery to wield,
But his charisma and charm, they became his shield.
He moved through life, a master of persuasion,
Convincing all he met, without true foundation.
In the mirror of society, he'd pose and preen,
Allende, the man with no skill, yet unseen.
A reminder that perception, like the emperor's attire,
Can cloak the truth, ignite a world's desire.

Nonsense the rhyme is consistent, the meter is perfect….it flows off the page and it captures the man, confused by any defensive complexity
I doubt you knew it was based on a Wordsworth poem Until I schooled you.

Chat has some good stuff there:
‘He moved through life a master of persuasion’
