Five Poets to Avoid at Parties

1

“Well of course you realise that
I only write for therapy;
I happen to have brought along
a little something of my own.”

2

“I’m afraid I really cannot cope
with Wendy Cope. Ha Ha.
“But haven’t I seen you at another do,
with another woman?”

3

“I simply do not care what others say.
McGonagall was truly great.”
“But of course you’re Scottish,
I’m sure you understand.”

4

“I write of love and of the thing love is,
and more of what I think love is.”
“And of me thinking of what I think love is,
“Or indeed, of what love is like.”

5

“Tell me, what do you do
when you’re not writing Poetry?
For myself, I like to walk in graveyards.
Care to come along?”
