A low bed
In the Japanese style
In Wolverhampton of all places
Where their municipal gallery
Boasts a full size portrait
Of its regions most famous poet
Whose name I don’t remember
But google may tell you
I think it is by one William Strang
I saw it
On the very day
That I had my photograph taken
For my driving licence
I had a long beard
In the Russian Orthodox style
In Wolverhampton of all places
Where my work drew me
As just someone other
With little chance of fame
And an elsewhere that I forget
