Excellent double use at the ending

The ending is kind of funny, but that seems a little bit of a let-down.

A great majority of poems which mention poems, words, writing, a poet, ... are lousy, extra spoiled by this very theme, while this poem is very good.

This poem reminds me of a different (not ironic) one--"your lips" (posted also on Literotica, but Literotica programmers have messed up its format, which was different, just normal, originally).

Hits the superlative nail on the head.
