Poetry (Alfred Kreymborg)

I guess this (by Alfred Kreymborg) is funny, but, for me, it mostly falls flat. There is no lilt to the lines or any surprises once he starts his joke.

And also - 4 inches between the top of the critic's head and his eyes - isn't that one large forehead? Maybe that's just another zing.

I don't know. This poem does little for me. Though I am curious if Ladislaw was really a critic. And what bad review he must of written for one of Kreymborg's works.
