TV Critique

Last night it was the Mersey Poets
Yes, I have seen Roger McGough
Yes, I have seen Brian Patten
But that was thirty years ago

And only last month
I cancelled my Labour Party membership
Though I have offered to help
With fund raising and projection

It is true, socialism is within me
With half a mind that communism could work
It is more true, my distaste for the tories
All my life their bile has been poured over me

Better to look at the limp leaves
On the, fading into autumn, cherry blossom tree
More satisfying then to remember the role love played
When seeing poets in performance
