    @MattBates

    I'm not sure what is going on tonight, but I'll take that question at face value.

    I've yet to see a poem anywhere, ever, that I liked. All poetry is poo as far as I'm concerned.

    Well I see that more as a medium for an encrypted message than a poem.

    I like Spike Milligan's poems. For example, 1 called "An Ode to the Longevity of Fleas":-

    Adam
    'Ad'em

    Or Ezra Pound..
    I eat my peas with honey..
    Ive done it all my life..
    It makes the peas taste funny..
    But, it keeps them on the knife...
    Or
    His epitaph..
    Here lies Ezra Pound,
    Lost at sea and never was found

    John Cooper Clarke the "Punk Poet" always had a controversial thing or two to say which was usually a satirical observation of what he considered a Nilhist society.

    If you can put up with the language check out some of his work.

    Also i think it was at the reading festival when he went through his entire act in about 7 minutes at lightening speed due to being bombarded with bottles and cans. This was back in the day when Reading was more like Download only more beer, more sex, more drugs and more mayhem.

    Met him. Lived in Essex for many years. Favourite:-

    "Gaberdine Angus had a mean trick
    Had a mean wang - made women sick
    Here's one now - go on act the goat
    Gaberdine Angus - open your coat
    Why waste words - risk resistance
    When you can climax from a distance
    Shock tactics - designed to stun
    Gaberdine Angus - it isn't done
    She don't run - she don't scream
    Your pink extremity has gone unseen
    She doesn't give the usual nervous cough
    So zip up Angus - then zip off."

    Favourite rhyme?

    "You go to a party
    You ruin all the fun
    Like a sucked and spat out Smartie
    You're no use to anyone"
