Don't change it.
Randomness is good.
Illogicity (is that a word?) is better.
And Poets just sounds good.
So yeah!

I vote we keep the phrase the same until the world is converted to Thingism - after all, an ingenious acronym may help to convert the heathens. As for keeping the name, however, I'm torn. Maybe we should just allow both Poets and Poetid, or maybe we could turn Poetid into a verb (the act of leaving early on Poets would be Poeting, future tense to poet, past tense to have poetid). Or maybe someone could just flip a coin, or perhaps come up with a truly bizarre and random grammar rule.
