moderate modern standing

I'm a poet
of moderate
modern standing
around, coming up
with ideas, and putting
them down.

    I love the dual purpose of 'standing', and how it makes you pause, and how neatly it divides the poem in half.

    I don't quite understand why I can't read it without mentally going off into 'I am the very model of a modern major general'.

    That's such an insanely catchy and perfect character piece!

    That's why?

    Also! Kinda can't decide whether I like the double standing or the double putting them down better? But I'm leaning towards standing, because - the reason you give. Simultaneously ending and starting the halves of the poem. Such happy chances come with constant tries!
