Spear Parts

The clumsy apers of genuine craft

Gather apres talk with their publishers

Dismissing their asper critiques as daft

One pares his fingernails while he ushers

The discussion toward attempts to parse

Fruit imagery, especially pears;

With the hue of prase, they figure in farce

Generally, as a presa that bears

The standard of a villain who rapes

Some maiden, then reaps a harvest bitter

Of scorn; none spare him their venomous japes

Until his sharp spear strikes some bile spitter
