Would you, all except Elaine, kindly respond to my poem?

Your poem speaks, rather satirically and obliquely, to a slight you have perceived; that is evident enough not only from your question but also from the scarcely sublimated frustration in the poem's tone and approach. It serves as an important reminder of what should be all-too-familiar to adults, viz. the necessity of observing social boundaries. I have discovered the source of your frustration and can see your point; it was unwarranted. I can also say that I have seen more rudeness here than in all the years of my professional life combined. We have lots of people with grand aims but little willingness to do the hard work necessary to see them realized. We have others who think themselves great satirists because they do not consider the folly in proclaiming themselves so when they are seen to all of their fellows as the worst sort of hypocrites, the envious sort! Yes, the full range of human ambition, and weakness, is on display here. Should we cut off our hands, metaphorically speaking, because another finds their appearance unattractive? Of course not, and this is exactly the point you make so well. Some find fault everywhere; I swear that they have a bust of Momus in their great hall, like the Turbins in Bulgakov's "White Guard," and worship it as a sort of tutelary god. Ignore them. Grow, prosper, be happy, and of course, keep writing poetry.
