excuse me, i’m a poet

excuse me, i’m a poet by tom tarpaulin

~~~



excuse me, i'm a poet

yes poet coming through

we love all the pointless things

as that's what poets do

excuse me, i'm a poet

& poets can jump queues

then get special discounts

coz we're not plebs like you


excuse me, i'm a poet

behold my mighty pen

all my friends are poets

i don't have any friends

excuse me, i'm a poet

this gift is a godsend

destined to bore so blame the lord

until my fitting end


thank you

...







 

good morn thing britain

good morn thing britain

i'm wearing mittens

you're sunny in places

yet some galey traces

with grey in between

your hills are still green

& bonfire smoke's yonder

it's sunday you tosser


the kettle is calling

the telly is boring

i blame the phoenicians

the black hand & titian

as certain as swanky's

the same thing as wanky

the rest we forget

- is this a poem yet

( ? )

floaty ghosts

restless

hauntings

momentum

springtime

a crocus

restless

no focus

cheese rolling

multi-plug

cobwebs

delusions

am i florence nightingale?

maybe

confusion

are you isaac newton?

momentum

& hauntings

late spring

midwinter

potholing is

daunting

from pheasant

to peasant

from pauper

to crown

atishoo atishoo

we all fall down

stand back when they're crumbling

descent

stand back

karma

crumbling

stand back

kinetically

challenged

challenges

crumbling

stand back

pyrrhic

descent

intent

crumbling

the coffee morning's cancelled

industrial action

bullshit

tumbling

kismet

intent

weasel whines

poltergeists

intensity

crumbling

descent

stand back

fumbling

density

this is not tea

at 3 in the afternoon

challenges

police cars

bullshit

cashback

kinetically

stand back

harvests

scarecrows

cycles

tumbling

intent

scarecrows

descent

pyrrhic

cashback

stand back when they're crumbling
