THE LITTLE POET

              My name is Tegan and I’m told
                   That’s Welsh for little poet,
              And though I’m still not very old,
                   Let’s see if I can show it.

              I’m writing this vicariously
                   By striving to inspire
              My master who pens poetry
                   To serve my fond desire.

              And here you see it worked, and I’m
                    Now on my way to fame:
              He caught my meter and my rhyme—
              Which if amiss, then he’s to blame.
