This is from my Forgotten English word-of-the-day calendar:
metromania: A species of insanity in which the patient evinces a rage for reciting poetry. From Greek metreon, metre, and mainomai, to be insane.
—Rev. John Boag’s Imperial Lexicon of the English Language, c. 1850

thanks for the useful lexicon , something new for me.
I’m a poet, and didn’t know it.
It, being that I am insane “in the membrane.”
With a screw loose, a loco-motive with no caboose.
Spewing words unheard by bird or nerd.
Insane I be, for the poet in me.
