Text Box: Poem of the Month

 

 

 

 

Factman

 

No, I’m not who I think I am

What’s worrying is

While I’m writing this, I’m

Listening to Batman

Batman!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Batman?

Batman! – Can you help me Help me

I’m not who I think I am

“Guru-Poet-Person”

That’s who I thought I was

In my squatcave

Batman?-How come

Now I find out

The guy who writes

(I think he may have written this poem)

Is more like…. Bruce Wane

Well no – Clark Kent actually

A part of me apparently

You see, (winged rodent person)

I – Have an arch enemy

He – Has almost destroyed me

Never met him

He’s, dead actually

That’s factual – I think he lived in Portugal

Some guy or other

His fault though –

There That’s him!

My – Heteronym

 

 This poet person, Arch-Poet-Person

Invented him

Bit like Jung positing:

Conjured the unconscious

And then it was –

(Er – unconscious)

That’s what this guy did

This is actual actually

I’ll just fill you in on the facts

As a sort of aside

Some poet right reckoned

He didn’t write them

- He was well acclaimed –

(That’s enough to make me hate him)

Said it was someone else always

(This hetero thingy)

He would get up on stage

(For all I know this is him right here)

And say

This one was written by,

Angela Finnison

Actually I don’t think he invented a female one

Lets say albert

Arch-Poet-Person, Batman, didn’t really like it

Blamed it on Albert

Who made him read it

Thing about it

He had hundreds, said

Everybody did

(Everybody as in er me)

His main inspiration

Was a boring young part-time librarian

Neville or something,

Wrote most of them,

This is one by……

See what I mean

……………………………..

Worrying isn’t it

Well it’s been worrying me

Me?

Ends up – He invented one

Just like him

Same name

Age, and everything

But, well

“He wrote them”

“Really”

“Wasn’t me”

 

 

 

 

 Announcement

Adrian Spendlow

Not being the writer and such

And possibly not even being here

Perhaps you would like to thank him in his absence!

 

 Thank you er this next one is by………
