First Class Sonnet

Oh British Rail First Class, Oh first Class Britain A leather bound land of the wide and thrilling I have joined your ranks; sat where you’re sitting

Mike Taboo

By his first Wednesday in school Everyone knew who Mike Taboo was The new student; a foreign gargoyle, Crack in the fairytale, black as charcoal, Sasquatch footsteps that pumped our tarmac.
Poem of the week
