I'm Ensuring My Place In Heaven.

I Don't Want My Poems To Be Sentimental, Though I Do Acknowledge That Sentiment Is Probably Rather Under-reported In A Lot Of People's Feelings A Lot Of The Time.

I Get Up At 5.30am, Sluice Myself And Have Two Weetabix And Some Mint Tea, Before Starting To Write By 6am.

But I Can't And Don't Ever Want To Write Bell-yanking Confetti-tossing Hat-throwing Poems.

I Like Eating Out. I Like Buying Beautiful Paintings And Being Surrounded By Beautiful Things. I Have To Finance That Life. I Can Barely Afford A Pension Scheme Because I Don't Make Enough Money.

I'm Ensuring My Place In Heaven.
