POET'S DAY

entry picture

Dear Mr Musk,

You recently invited me to bullet-point my accomplishments for the past week.

Herewith my most noteworthy achievements.

  • On Monday I was late – I'd left my clock upon the shelf; but on the plus side like a grown-up washed and dressed myself

  • Tuesday was a better day – I cannot tell a lie; egg and chips for dinner, though I spilled it down my tie

  • On Wednesday it was busy – the phone never ceased to ring; so I slammed it in its cradle and I broke the fucking thing

  • Mid-morning on the Thursday I had so big a shit that The Guinness Book of Records want to take a look at it

  • And everybody knows that Friday's POET'S DAY; that's “PISS OFF EARLY” Elon Musk, “TOMORROW'S SATURDAY”

Your obedient servant,

etc etc etc.

Does this mean you will have to retitle yourself as JC International?

Dear Mr. John, I am happy to report your letter to Mr. Musk has been well received here in California. After reading it to my husband and eliciting a large guffaw, my husband texted the link containing the letter (amazing what one can send by post nowadays) to his fishing buddies (who frequently text each other joking comments about the wonderful world of politics). My husband also read the letter to the old guys from our church who meet for coffee on Wed. mornings; apparently the table erupted in laughter. So, Mr. John, thanks to you, much of Calif. is laughing. Long live poetry!

I needed this poem, John. Laughter really is the best medicine.

And thanks for the Likes, Red Brick, Trevor, Branwell and Aisha.

That'll get you a job at X, John. Six figures, at least!
