He's a Poet who Don't Know It.

[Truerenigma]

The actual phrase:

"He's a poet,
but doesn't know it,
yet his feet show it,
'cause their Longfellows!"

The premiss seems somewhat shaky, as though it should be "He thinks he is a poet, but doesn't know he is not."

true enough - the longer the foot, the looser the iamb.
