Excellent. This made me smile. I like the way you've managed to interweave the Wordsworth poem throughout and give a different slant on some of the images. For that reason I think the, "A poet, be he straight or gay," line is fine in its reference to the original Wordsworth line of, "A poet could not but be gay", and this line was the one that made me laugh out loud, otherwise I would agree with Ella "Why would it matter?", but here it works.
That being said, I think it would be best to include a footnote referencing the Wordsworth poem because as well as being an obvious influence there are certain lines that are exactly the same as in the Wordsworth poem, just in case someone thinks that it's plagiarism.
The one line that didn't work for me was, 'I say “Now think about it Dude', because of that word 'Dude', it just doesn't seem to fit in with the rest of the poem. I know it's a tough one because you need to find a rhyme with 'solitude', but...

I am a Geordie and there's an old Geordie joke that goes,

A man walks into a barbers and asks for a perm.
And the barber says, "I wandered lonely as a cloud..."

If you're not British then you will not have the slightest clue what I'm on about.
Cheers for the read, much enjoyed,
