reports of youths …

 reports of youths …


… throwing my pebble poems into the sea

contrary to their statement of disdain 

they have in fact been moved by my poems 

not in the way that i anticipated i admit

and never in a way that they would admit

but they were not throwing blank pebbles

that would be so childish and silly

but the inculcation of an opinion 

and on the written word at that 

must have been a churning of the their guts 

miles away from the waterbrash of too much ale

that it elicited the basic flight and fight response 

now you write me some words that elicit such

a strong response and i will send the feral cats

to scratch your ayes out

me i’m off to collect some more pebbles

attack is the best form of defence 

don’t you think

they’ll appreciate that
