A Good poem - Roger McGough

I like a good poem

one with lots of fighting

in it. Blood, and the

clanging of armour. Poems

against Scotland are good,

and poems that defeat

the French with crossbows.

I don't like poems that

aren't about anything.

Sonnets are wet and

a waste of time.

Also poems that don't

know how to rhyme.

If I was a poem

I'd play football and

get picked for England.
