This is a SHOUTING poem.
Not a gentle wildflower poem
not a whispering-of-love poem
A SHOUTING POEM.
This is a POSTER poem.
Not a subtly persuading poem.
not a think-about-it poem
A POSTER POEM
This is a HARD OF HEARING poem.
A what?
I said a HARD OF HEARING POEM
This is a LOST SPECTACLES poem
to test your sight.
No no not LAST TESTICLES
no try the next line - -
A LOST SPECTACLES POEM
now where did I put them
This is a HAVE YOU SEEN MY? poem.
I know I put it down somewhere.
Are you sure you haven't seen it?
Oh no, you didn't use it for THAT...?
Why are you laughing it's not funny.
I hadn't even finished it...
This is an ACROSS THE ROOM poem.
Read it while you're in bed
watching TV
doing the ironing
reading the newspapers
putting the new wallpaper up
combing the cat
having a bath
washing the car
talking to the neighbours
gardening
this is an ACROSS THE ROOM POEM
This is a BLOWN ACROSS THE STREET POEM
no need to run after it
and pick it up
just watch it blow
maybe wonder
if you missed anything
(revised)
I agree with Scarlett. Only to add that it is truely a unique poem.
This is a HYSTERICALLY funny POEM...I think....I will know as soon as I find my spectacles and finish READING IT FROM ACROSS THE ROOM. WHAT DID YOU SAY? ? ? Oh, you had as much fun writing it as I did reading it....I THOUGHT SO! !

MIchael, you should dedicate this to Jerry. I love it! It's loudness, its truthfulness and its sheer silliness. Wonderful words. love, Allie xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
