my poems I do not 'slam'
I'm not a Taylor Mali
Nor a Sarah May
I perform my type of poetry
In my par-tic-u-lar way
They will not judge my poems
my poems they will not judge
it's not a competition
a sweet po-ta-to
to be awarded a red rosette
that says it's best in show
I'm happy that my work is good
good is work my that happy I'm
...and I know no poet ever
a fortune at any point made
but that won't stop me writing it
I'll go on - and on - I'm afraid!
