"Sister I'm a Poet" is a song by Morrissey, first released as a B-side to "Everyday Is Like Sunday". The lyric and title have been interpreted as a homage to Tennessee Williams' The Glass Menagerie.
Since its release, the song has seen critical acclaim for its Smiths-style music and Morrissey's witty lyricism. It has since become a fan favourite,[2] appearing on multiple compilation albums and becoming a mainstay of Morrissey's live setlist.
