                  After These
        Will B War
                 The All-knowing unseeing
       Will B angry
        U will C
         No kidding They will call upon the masses
       Hand out truncheons
      They all
           Will know what 2 do
            Not 2 commit War
             But 2 consider These Words
     And the killing will do Justice 2 These Words They hope
                   And They insist These Words do Justice 2 the War

In NW2 we have just received
The NEW independent magazine serving the residents of W2 (sic)
NW2 Magazine

We of NW2
Can finally hold our heads
High

O brave NEW

On a hex
Some honest thought and goodwill would revoke:
Swapping sorrows with our fellow plebs
To gladly wallow till we drown or choke
Upon the stuff that's left when promise ebbs,
So seething as we choke at being caught
Alack like puddled ants and thereby vexed
While never having done the things we ought
We soldier on from this life, to the bitter next...

I'd like to tell myself how much I love me,
How I long to look myself right in the eye,
To take long walks and, holding hands, to say I'm wonderful
But I'm shy.

I nearly said something else
And it might have been a mistake
But the thought that rages
Through these pages
Suffers incompleteness

To labou
To have idea
To recor
To lea
To keep us saf
To make us wel
To try and act natura
To collect hone
To tang

I have bought
A wicked tooth-snazzier-upper
For a tenner
Because I'm rich.
It snazzied up my teeth
Something rotten
And the only glitch
Is my teeth being so-so
At the best of times
Like now.
I know,
Having repeated the experiment
And found I was already at the upper limit of snazziness thanks to my new purchase.
I am the first woman or man in the world
To write a poem on this subject
And when everybody's teeth are snazzied up
The world can credit me for the tip.
And I recommend a little scratcher
Like the dental hygienist uses.
Now your mouth won't need to be manhandled by an old dentist or
One just starting out
Who pulls your teeth out
For a fortune, say a tenner.
Sometimes even the rich
Like a bargain.

Anything could be going on
During a bit of verse
And in the end if nothing is changed
More fool you
And more fool me
Just more fool you more see

Are there many parking wardens around here?

Do you know anyone who's got pills?

Wassup?

Can you hear something?
