Snip restored to expose you as the lying, misrepresenting prick you are. Snipping, then replying to a blank post, proves you can’t back up your asinine claims with facts; all you do is invent straw men to fake a victory. Where in my post did I claim to be a poet?
Even if I had, posting examples here doesn’t make someone a poet; anyone can claim the title. You, however, can’t credibly call yourself a musician when you can’t play a single instrument. Either you’re deluded or you’re lying. I’ll take the latter.  On second thought, I believe it is both.
