"Definition"

Poetry. 
Such a simple word.
But...
What is it?
How now, brown cow.
The cat sat on the mat.
Unsurprisingly...
It's more than that.
You may take the piss
But you're reading this.
And it doesn't have to rhyme...
See...this line didn't.
Nor the next.
Yet you are still reading.
So tell me...
If poetry's not for you
Why have you
Got as far as here
Right to the end?
