A couple verses? [He sounds a little offended now!]

It-it takes a lot of time and practice to write poetry. You can't just throw words together and call it a poem, it takes... hours of studying the English language, present words and past, a-and even then it's extremely hard to get the words to line up perfectly!

[He huffs a little]

I-it's a lot of hard work to write "just a couple verses".
