I will not write an enigmatic poem to annoy the casual reader

I will not write an enigmatic poem
to annoy the casual reader
Nor will I write a jonquil one
as in some ornamental garden
set on a long forgotten shore

Nor yet a poem oleander like
those daffodils or buttercups
some sailors say they saw
on Far East Indian isles

But I will write a poem to burst
The polished bubble of the era
A poem to slam the
very ethos of the age
But not today I think because
Today, today, is for oranges
