Scientologists' Love Song

My most recent assignment was to write in couplets. We were supposed to write about someone in pop culture. I chose Tom and Katie.

Scientologists' Love Song

It's sad: Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes
appear in few well crafted poems.
At Dawson's Creek far and away
the minstrel's mute and sings no lay.
So with my lyre I whisper verse
but soon discover their love's perverse.
To praise their love's a foolish mission.
Impossible! It admits of just derision,
the reason being, I've discovered,
the influence of L. Ron Hubbard.

Are you implying that the love between TomKat is false? Shame, you cynic.
