A vegetable in Borneo

runs a guest house

by a tree.

The furry bat

reclines in that

fine veggie's pitcher

green.

Between dreaming

in this fine repose

he does some poo and pee.

His kindly host

has justly earned

this very special fee.

Some anthropomorphic allusion in this Malpoet, which is surprising from you. It works very well though.

In fact I would call this poem "charming" if the word hadn't been hijacked by middle class tossers. You hear it all the time on Radio 4, and it has been known to crop up in poetry workshops.

Back, back foul didact, dare ye not to attempt the slaying of my creative soul!
