please be this poem I beg. AQA I beg that this is the poem. I yearn for this poem like a moth to a lamp. All of my knowledge and wisdom comes from this poem. Give me any of the other poems and I will fail not only myself but your eyes for what I will write will be so outlandish that it could be considered offensive. Let this be the poem and my thanks will go far and wide. My laziness has gotten me far in this life, don't let it fail me now <3
