# C'mon share...
I'm sure he's used to it, either that or he'll imortalise you in a future poem

# well, i was a bit pissed
so i went up to him and told him why i thought he was great - most poetry sounds contrived and pointless, but his sounds very natural - and then told him, "my favourite poem of yours is this...".

after reciting it, he said, "That's a really nice poem... but it's not mine".

oh christ, how I wanted to hide.

# well, I'm laughing at you now.
But I'm also cringing for you, if it helps.

# Splendid!
Could've been worse, you might have told him to cheer up and start wearing contacts.
