tips for a budding poet  (  teop gniddub a rof spit  )

…

smoke green trees

but drink only tea


walk beneath the moon's beams

but hide from the sunshine


sleep if awake

to awaken from sleep


sport a cravat

( this can double as a napkin  )


ink with a feather

on a sheet of papyrus


talk with the animals

but steer clear of people


write all morning

then doss all afternoon


eat a high fibre diet

with plenty of prunes

...
