Man Stabbed To Death In Russia For Saying Poetry Is Not Real Literature: Cops

A Russian teacher stabbed his friend,

(According to the courts)

Because the man disparaged

Poems, RIA reports.



It started as a friendly chat

Last week, in the Urals.

The men were drunk, discussing books

Just gabbing like old pals.



The conversation went awry,

Though, when the topic turned

To verse, and with the friend's bold claims

The teacher's temper burned.



When his buddy swore the only

"Real literature is prose,"

The teacher couldn't handle it

And finally, he chose



To grab a knife (allegedly)

And stab the guy to death.

Police say that he fled the scene

Upon the man's last breath.



They caught him, though, days later, and

He's charged with murder now.

He might get 15 years, but what

Is really wild, is how



This stabbing's not the first time that

Some Russian blood's been spilled

For nerdy reasons. A debate

On Kant got someone killed.
