If you start to write a
poem
But have no idea
What you plan to say
Will it all go Hunky Dory
Or turn out mad like yesterday
I mean do people want
To hear of the waves
And sea monsters in the ocean
Or algebra and Maths and
stuff
Or nudists frolicking
In a suggestive motion
That is before the police
. . . . of course
Arrive and chase them away
Or of superheroes with super
powers
Or the heroic deeds of
fighting men
Or a tiny hobbit eating
porridge
In a cave that’s dark and grey
But one thing I know
Of which I am certain
My poetry will never be
read
By the likes of Richard Burton
Ooooooo I know people
Will pat me on the back
And say you did your best
for a chap called Rob
But to tell the truth
Being Poet laureate
Is more a vocation than a
proper job?
And that poem you wrote
about the seagull
Was very popular
Until in verse one hundred
and three
Where is was savaged by a
Zombie Eagle
Hang on didn’t
Last nights Poem end with
a Zombie Hen
I appear to have gone full
circle
And arrived back at the
start of then
What . . . . . . . No It Ok this Poem will be Read
Who . . . . . . . . OK I know Richard Burton’s Dead
The End . . . . . . . or
is it
Almost
Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor
ReplyDeleteSay, hello sailor
We like how you tailor
Without failure
Random prose
That grows and grows
Don't you knows
No end
My friend
Almost
A toast.
Gary, Gary, quite contrary....
I love fresh toast with butter on and maybe a little Marmite.
