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
