I am not Billy Collins, or Roger McGough
Or Simon Armitage
Or even me
Anyhow three's a crowd
And I would not like
To barge on in
Lad
Better for any words
Fatter or thinner
I read the phrase 'good poetry'
Twice today
On neither occasion
Did I care
For that particular
Turn of phrase
Lad
Better for any words
Fatter or thinner
You might not be Baudelaire
Or Neruda, Keats
Or even me
But don’t let that stop you
Introvert or inverted
Extrovert
Lad
Better for any words
Fatter or thinner
Say what you feel
Say bugger
If so you like
Let it out
Go on
Steam on in
