Just wrote this poem. Should I publish it?

Squelching underpants etc.

They roamed free, stench a-waft
They roamed 'pon the lawn, the garage, up in the loft.
The underpants roameth wherever they please
Emitting the foulest of stenchy brown breeze.

They disgust but a few, what a rancid smell
An horrific aroma straight out of hell,
So friends, and kin, and family, I beg
Please lay off the curry and sprouts and egg.

Roameth they did, like a very fine wine,
They roameth so far, they began to shine!
Shineth they did, they shineth, like gloss!
A sheen so bright it couldn't give a toss.

It couldn't give a toss about it's neighbour, called Barry,
Whom no-one would marry...
Because he recently slipped in a pool of custard and bruised his knee.
Poor Barry.

Of course you should publish.

Very good and the last verse is touching on genius level!

Many thanks - this is the sort of endorsement I was looking for... and admittedly, as an aspring new poet, crave for.

If you're good I might post a few more for consideration. Not too many though as I wouldn't want to spoil the surprise obviously.

To publish, you'll need to print, which will require ink, unless you mean digitally, in which case you already have.
