Of course you can. Nobody can stop you. They may be able to stop you 
profiting from it, but they can't stop you putting it on the internet, 
giving copies to your friends, reciting it to anyone who will listen, etc.

This is where you stop and consider: why did I write it (And are there 
easier ways of making $45k)?
