5. Poets are both clean and warm
And most are far above the norm
Whether here or on the roam
Have a poet in every home





Morning, madam. I've come to read your poet.

Oh yes, he's in the cupboard under the stairs.

What is it, a Swinburne? Shelley?

No, it's a Wordsworth.

Oh, bloody daffodils.

18. I want to be Minister of Poetry
I turn out one new poem a week. Do you?

As I understand it, it's a quota position.
