Henry Lawson
Author's portrait: Henry Lawson

This poem is a satirical critique of the literary establishment and its perceived elitism. The speaker, a self-proclaimed "Uncultured Rhymer", mocks the pretensions of cultured critics who claim to be superior due to their refined tastes and education. He argues that true artistry lies in the ability to express oneself honestly and authentically, rather than relying on artificial conventions and jargon.
