I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'poem with notorious verb' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't tell whether it can be defined by this definition.

'article about english verb thesis misjudged' is the wordplay.
'article' becomes 'the' (the definite article in English).
'about' indicates putting letters inside.
'english' becomes 'E' (abbreviation).
'misjudged' indicates anagramming the letters (I've seen this in other clues).
'e'+'verb'+'thesis'='everbthesis'
'everbthesis' with letters rearranged gives 'isbethevers'.
'the' enclosing 'isbethevers' is 'THIS BE THE VERSE'.

Can you help me to learn more?
