Did I miss it? Did I?
I had it in my diary – honest!
Has been looking forwards to it for ages.
Had even cleared a few pages
upon which to write a poem.
And, now, today,
I heard someone say
that it had been a good ‘un,
a great day,
a poetical feast in such a way.
And I thought to myself,
what a shame,
if only I could have had a poem
written, by me, to my name.
Maybe next year.
I’ll make a note now,
and start a poem today…
if I only knew how.
