Per the very extensive discussions currently archived at Talk:The Bronx/Name, the current consensus is to have this article's name be The Bronx (with "The" in the title) rather than Bronx, and also to keep "the" uncapitalized when "the Bronx" is used in the middle of a sentence. Before making a new discussion about the Bronx's name, please review the earlier exchanges. |

In the section "In popular culture" -> "Literature" -> "Poetry", Ogden Nash's poetic apology to the dean of Bronx Community College is described as a "prose poem", and I can't quite figure out why.
Its presentation is standard for poetry. The last six lines rhyme, and, as is not always true for Nash, they even scan, perfectly.
I guess I could have just put "Citation needed" after the "prose poem" categorization, but I thought I would be a bit more specific about my concern. What makes this a prose poem?
