I never thought in sobriety
A fanzine I'd produce
When I was a pisshead
It was just a beer fundraising excuse.
I haven't sold a copy yet
So I don't know why I feel so great
Perhaps the fact I've got it done
Even if it's not first rate.
Truth is I'm a bit technophobic
So it's old scholl cut and paste
I was unsure whether to print it
But it's not been done in haste.
I collated and re-read it
It might not be to your style
But the more I keep on looking at it
I'm breaking into a smile.
I think that means if you read and like it
That's a bonus and a plus
Not that I won't love it
If you kindly make a fuss.
There's this poncy buzzword at work
It's all about "Well Being"
Now I've just published my first poetry fanzine
It means forgetting the past I'm fleeing.
For each little thing I do
And every new piece I publish
It's helping me achieve a better life
Being granted my 'normality' wish.
Dulwich Poet 27th September 2014
(I have just produced a 24 A5 page poetry fanzine, to sell & give away at Dulwich Hamlet games, and Open Mic poetry nights; I was unsure of doing so, but am proud of the finished product!)
