As many of you know I write poetry

It was something God handed to me and in the view of others (at least the people I bribe) I am seen as a tedious, self centred – a shit poet if you will.

But it is either that or hanging around taking the numbers of trains (comrades permitting) at railway stations.

Look there is another 395 Roger

Wow

What a fun day we are having Joe

I like your dress

And I like yours

C&A

I am not sure as I always wear it this way

Back to the sensible part of this poem

Yet there are some who for some unknown reason find that my work makes them think and see things from a different angle and occasionally they tell me so which is rewarding.

As I note frequently – It is your journey as much as mine – and if it makes you think

Then I am a Happy Joe.

But one thing that did not make me happy was when I read that along with a comrade Jeremy is going to release a book of poetry in November – as Greta says How Dare You (or something like that – I do not understand her accent).

But it is going to happen and I do hope he makes sure that a volume with big letters and easy words is made available for Comrade Diane so that she might enjoy the mysteries of Gerard Manley Hopkins the next time she pops down to Pound Store.

Poetry is for Everyone

Even the Comrades

Poetry is to be Shared

Some say it is the purest kind of writing (possibly)

But really there are limits…

Off to catch another Steam Train in Canterbury later.

Happy Days as Samuel once said.

Are you coming

Joe

No I always stand like this

Roger
