Can you get a copyright for a poem if you didn't write it, but change the words?
I would say you had better not try, that's called plagiarism.Serious stuff, stealing someone's words then claiming to have written them.

No not me.. I wonder if that has happened here.. I noticed that at the end of the poem there is the line.. be careful.. or be cheerful... so could this copyright be because this Max has changed a word.... or is the fact that he has the copyright proof he wrote it. See what I mean. I have always wondered.. just never taken the time, before now to really find out.
