palavers

Palavers


If, I possessed the last word on earth,
and if the written language was obliterated
by a giant computer; and if I was able to
make anagrams of that word that would
amuse the multitude, if not academics,
who tend to be word blind anyway, would
they compare me to the greatest living
author in the world, a man called Amiss,
famous son of another Amiss? Or would
they say: do not for a moment think you’re
better than us, we know who you are, saw
you falling out of a bar a Thursday only
fortnight ago and non of the anagrams you
spoke getting up were the least funny
