NOLI TIMERE – DO NOT BE AFRAID .. .
⚐⚐⚐
.. .
I came very late to the party
By the time I arrived it had started
Coleridge was dancing with Langston
Emily had a whole group of admirers
In the corner I noticed was Seamus
and the spotless Paul Muldoon
Shamelessly chatting of McClaverty
with Longley and Andrew Motion
Keates and Byron they were there
And Shelley at one point stood on a chair
Hemmingway kind of got in the door
Eminem sat in the corner on the floor
The music was loud they were playing Dylan
Some fool was heard reciting Ibsen
I heard some voices raised,
might just be Ginsberg, Kerouac
along with other bad seeds and Nick Cave
out the back, on the table, in the kitchen
In the yard, some actor fellows
had started a fire with guffaws
and a pair of ancient bellows
Wordsworth was seated at a bureau
he wrote an ode
While ‘the bard’ was there
directing the show
In the far distance I heard an owl
and later a pussycats soft meow
