Discovery

I love discovering new poets and poems. Especially using this: http://www.cs.rice.edu/~ssiyer/minstrels/poems

However, this one's thanks to Ahona

Let me not to the marriage of true swine
Admit impediments. With his big car
He's won your heart, and you have punctured mine.
I have no spare; henceforth I'll bear the scar.
Since women are not worth the booze you buy them
I dedicate myself to Higher Things.
If men deride and sneer, I shall defy them
And soar above Tulse Hill on poet's wings --
A brother to the thrush in Brockwell Park,
Whose song, though sometimes drowned by rock guitars,
Outlives their din. One day I'll make my mark,
Although I'm not from Ulster or from Mars,
And when I'm published in some classy mag
You'll rue the day you scarpered in his Jag.



Bloody men are like bloody buses -
You wait for about a year
And as soon as one approaches your stop
Two or three others appear.
