@CowperKettle Don't you mean confess instead of confer? The latter makes no sense.

And the last line is just ... odd. I get that you're making a joke, but it's not enough to just blurt it out. You have to set it up and time it just right.

But this is better than any poem I could write in Russian, to be sure.

@Robusto Ah! Thanks!

It did not occur to me

Of course I'll never write English poems as well as a native speaker

@SmokeDetector I like that they said that on a post where one of the answerers at least is JL.

@CowperKettle Many native speakers can't write poems at all, so don't sell yourself short.
