(this is only a bit a lugubrious fun, apologies to Roger D but I hope
he doesn't mind the joke: I've been coerced into judging a poetry
competition in the last fe weeks, and it hasn't had a good effect on
me)
A Gibberhelle by DJB
Fuck off Manchester United and the World Series
Fuck off the IMF and Roger McGough
Fuck off slim volumes and literary prizes
Fuck off David Bircumshaw and all his pretenses
Fuck off the dessicated cod in the chip shop
Fuck off GDubbya and that woman at the bus-stop
Fuck off the Middle Kingdom and all its hurdlers
Fuck off Shakespeare and his mate Roger Day
Fuck off NASA and the voids of space
Fuck off I love you for I speak in your void
Fuck off loneliness for it leaves me with me
Fuck off Celan for you arsehole you're like we
