Jeremiad
I used to think I
was my own worst enemy
and so did many
of my friends.
But I wanted to be sure
so I kept a diary
to remind me
of faces and places,
fluctuations in pulse,
blood pressure,
respiration,
frequency of swearing
and kicking the cat.
Turns out I was wrong.
My worst enemy
is Jeremy Kyle.
I only made 4th place!
I grabbed 3rd on the death
of Jeremy Beadle
but I'd have to do
summat really stupid
to overtake
Jeremy Clarkson.

Thanks, Steve and Isobel. So many Jeremies, so little venom. Actually, you know, I really love this poem, one of my favourites.
