A Question about Poets and Poetry.

Yay for Shannon!

He's a shitty carpenter who can call himself a carpenter all he likes -- would he be welcome at a master craftsman's convention on the latest dovetaily thingos?  Unlikely.  It would be very unwise of him to walk into a room full of men with hammers and start going on about his brilliance.

As long as he doesn't inflict his carpentry on the world, and as long as he doesn't try convincing anyone he's a master, let him build his shitty little birdhouses to his heart's content.
