muse77,
Thanks very much for pointing that out. These are important things to know. I had to look up Syd Barrett (never heard of him) and iTuned Bob Dylan's Blues. Read the lyrics, and yep. Pretty similar. But no, they weren't stolen from Mr. Barretts lyics. I dare say, the use of the phrase "I'm a poet, don't you know it" is such a generic and poor joke as well as cliche, I doubt it would cause a problem anywhere. But, in my quest to become a better writer I will rewrite the chorus to reflect more of my talent and vision, small as they may be.
