A New Poem for National Poetry Day (in the UK).
i’ll never be no poet laureate.
by harry whitewolf.
i’ll never be no poet laureate,
not ‘cos I ain’t no good,
but ‘cos I wouldn’t take the job,
even if I could,
‘cos i’d not write no commissions,
‘bout rich princes and the queen;
not unless they wanted ‘em,
to be somewhat obscene.
i’d not celebrate no ‘olidays,
‘elping royal advertising,
unless they wanted the words ‘scum’
and ‘bastards’ in the writing.
in fact, i’d love to be poet laureate,
so i could say just what I think:
topple the outdated monarchy.
the bloody lot of ‘em stink.
