The folowing poem is by a local wellknown poet
very funny talented man his name is Matt Harvey ...


THink before you print this poem .......

to see a hot tub in a council skip
and heaven in a bald tyre
behold infinity in your local tip
and eternity in some frayed electrical wire

it seems one mans chimmey pot s another mans top hat
one mans bauble is anather mans jewel
one mans cheapskates another mans skip- rat
one mans chip fat s another mans fuel
one mans cheek is another mans chutzpah
one man puddle is another mans footspa

broken umberllas ,malfunctioning kettles
empty containers of various metals
that never quite did what it said on the tins
these are a few of my favorite things....

one mans tip is another mans temple
one mans junk is another mans joy
one mans meat is another mans pen pal
one mans man is another girls boy
one mans popgun s another mans uzi
one man grit is another mans muslie

leftovers hand me downs , chuckaways ,off cuts
used pre used-loved ,second hand ,rejects ,and cast offs
all the fresh junk that this rampantley unsustainable consumer
society brings,
these are more of my favorite things.

when the cold bites , when my skip leaks ,when ive lost my zest
i simply dismember my favorite things-
and then i dont feel so stressed....
