To the Fundamentalist Book Critic

So you don’t like the matter in my book?
And you want to show it by turning into a crook?

Have you really come to advocate your religion here?
By throwing that chair and stool over there?

Are you screaming to vowelize your hurt sentiment?
Is it for a salve you stoop to scoop up the sediment?

Couldn’t you express your sensitivity better than that?
You know, just hurl over the bouquet and leave out the brickbat.
