On being Pooter ...




I'm reading Diary of a Nobody -

Chortling when young Pitt calls out hornpipe ! -

Or when Pooter buys a pair of stags' heads made of plaster -

They look just the thing for our little hall, and give it style -

Yet, I'm filled with a gentle melancholy - 

Pages from his diary torn out to light a Holloway fire -

The villa with the railway at the back -

The morning bus - 

I think of my own life - 

Those small days - 

The well loved ornaments - 

The ship's crest - 

The Old School House rather than The Laurels
