The Rhyme-Botherer’s Garden Shed
Shedspla! my shed:
Just once, let me find shortbread
In the shortbread tin, not screws;
Let the bolts in the jam jars bruise
Easily!
Is white spirit as mild as the moisty
Mizzle of morn, when supped
From the gowpen of two hands cupped;
As scant in the mouth, as faint,
Ill-equipped to thin paint,
Though it thins the thirst well enough?

He's a mighty fine poet but he lives in the smallest shed I've ever seen. In fact, it's so small, it deserves a poem...
ReplyDeleteSo small is this shed
That I hit my head
Each time I stand to leave.
I write my prose
But have to dangle my toes
Right outside the door.
