Sobriquet

Nicked of name, slandered apiece
  Pie plantation, harvesting

Tricked by same idolatry
  Wince, dismayed, at feigned release.....

    Reined in by the whip-cracking snide 
      Made man; debased in his parlor,
    His greeting-card smile replaced by a vile-set
      Face, agape.....

        A weighty resolve,
        A credulous host;
        A fish in a tin:
        A swimming success!
