"Reading It Wrong"

I turn the page
And there it says
Right at the top on bold:
"The Den"
I get all excited
Brain goes into football mode.
"Come on you Lions!"
But I quickly realise
It's just some shit
About Foxes.
And I don't mean
Leicester City.
Sometimes...
I fucking hate poetry books.

Dulwich Poet 24th September 2014

('The Den' was the name of a poem in a poetry book I borrowed from the Poetry Library: "Words On A Faded T-Shirt", by Norman Mailer)
