Poets and Poetry

[Statius]

Hmm, what about your own poetry? I think Tribe posted one he wrote. Anyone else wanna share? Scary thing of course.

I was once waiting in a hospital for a blood test, clutching ticket number 31. I was there so long I had time to write this on my blackberry



Not sure I've written anything since

This is my own, too

I wrote this in the old country

Dear Carrera

You started all this madness - for which I'm very grateful
Whilst mummy's not, she's only really jocularly hateful
She loves you really - often tells me that you look 'quite nice'
And definitely prefers you to rest (except the Weiss)

You really are quite handsome and always look the part
Your brushed and polished 5 link bracelet's comfortable and smart
The perfect "beach to board room", though not ideal for diving
And such a useful tachymetre for Sunday racing driving

I'm sorry for the nasty things the boys on WUS can write
Groupthink bashing TAG is unoriginal and trite
Your movement's not exotic, your vfm - bit low
But mostly it is just because you're not a speedy pro

Thank you oh so very much for catching Geoffbot's eye
3 years ago in Goldsmiths window as I sauntered by
I'd never dream of flipping you because you were my first!
(and also cos your resale value's down there with the worst)


I've since flipped it.

Too many great couplets to mention, so I just quoted the whole thing. I of course love the pure WIS irony at the end.
