I am just a cyclist
Upon the pavement of life
No poet am I
Just a traveller
Upon two wheels
And it feels
Good
By the Book (sic)
Bardly Writ

Immutability
Things change.
They don’t stay the same.
What was
Is now something different;
And what is
Will be different again.
The only thing that doesn’t change
Is change itself.
That fact is immutable.

Not a vehicle registration number
But it’s 09:33am
And I am Late For Work;
But, only in this poem.
“It’s not a poem!”
I hear you cry.
‘Why?’ Is my reply.
‘Lots of it rhymes
To my eye’
“Oh, yes – I suppose it does”
You mumble quietly.
And, I, smug as a poetic bug in a rug,
Grin within
But act all humble
Without.

…Upon This Very Stage…
If I died now…
This very moment…
Upon this very stage…
Who would finishing reading out this poem?
Would you?
Or would you try to bring me back?
Give me the kiss of life?
Return me to the task in hand?
For, I have been told, ‘nobody’ could read my poems
The way that I do.
And once gone…
Would they be silent?
NB Funny how some poems just happen. This took about two minutes and very little editing. Bit bleak; but, it’s only a collection of words in a certain order put. Graeme:)

What I would ‘really’ like is…
Not a canary
What I would like is
Sorrento’s Limoncello;
But, there’s no such thing.

A Jitter-Bugging Litter-Bug.
I’ve drunk my ‘rum-flavoured’ beer
So, I’ll leave the bottle…
Here.
Why should I put it in,
A bin?
I paid my cash
With my fake ID;
What makes you think
I’m going to be…
Tidy?
I leave my droppings on the floor;
A litter-bug, jitter-bugging all the more;
And who cares if the bottle smashes;
And if, later, children’s blood splashes
Upon the floor?
I know I don’t;
So why should you?
What good will keeping Britain tidy do?
