Rack by rack, stack by stack
All that poetry under attack
It's all there like a tin of Alphabetti
Except I'm not scoffing Heinz spaghetti.
Choosing poetry by it's cover
Then I'll devour four of another.
In amongst them my own would be lost
Just need to save the publishing cost
If I had the money to swallow the loss
For my ego not giving a toss.
Currently borrowing Patrick, Paul
Bob and Chris
All with the same surname
Makes me want to do this
To have my own booklet
Would be the biz
I could say I've kept up with them
All the Joneses!
Dulwich Poet 10th October 2013
(Since January I've been reading random books of poetry, from the Poetry Library. You can borrow four at a time, and I started at 'A' & am currently picking ones out that catch my eye in the 'J's. I have four books out by four different writers, all with the surname Jones)
