on avoiding the wind
not going out in this storm
means we’re stuck at home
this weekend is all about books
tend not to blow me over,
unless they’re really good ..

whodunnit
in classic crime books it’s rarely the
gardener’s second cousin’s tailor who did it’s so frustrating
not to get a mention,
and in any case you know how it looks

in a PG sort of mood ..
few knew what he was getting
at
the time
he was happy
to be
misunderstood
their reasons, of course, you’re well known for
writing
utter balderdash,
old horse,
it was
quite
frequently
said.

on ludgate hill
loved walking through the city, down fleet street,
the strand, and charing cross as I am that I struggle
to stand up to it now I remember who I was as
I am still, although perhaps with less wobbly feet.

are great, but I like
to take home
little postcards

to the bloke in the pub who likes to shout
think what you will
you ever keep quiet
and still it’s your right
or wrong to spurt what you like
a child who demands loudly to be heard,
night after night
I try to write
and find the very word ..

tall tales and Lilliputians
Gay came across Pope in the inn and
asked have you written anything
lately I’ve been in the evenings with
Swift and, mate, you know what that’s like ..

it doesn’t have to be deep
life, the universe and everything else is
totally irrelevant when I’m in bed of a saturday
morning, half asleep and you shake me
and say, wake up, haven’t you heard!
I groan no, but I guess it’ll keep

the stories you hear in the pub
I said, why don’t you go home to your wife?
I daren’t.
why?
she might not be there.
I said, let me get you another pint ..

and it’s little enough relief ..
yes, we discuss occasionally
who we’d prefer to die first
and we both name the other
to spare each other the grief

the thames
grey water with a hint
of blue people in
the background
nondescript
buildings blurred and smudged
by the fog ..
