OP (bless her heart)
One of my favourite poets Benjamin Zephaniah has turned down an OBE, full story here http://snurl.com/3643. Well done that man.
White Comedy
I waz whitemailed
By a white witch,
Wid white magic
An white lies,
Branded by a white sheep
I slaved as a whitesmith
Near a white spot
Where I suffered whitewater fever.
Whitelisted as a whiteleg
I waz in de white book
As a master of white art,
It waz like white death.
People called me white jack
Some hailed me as a white wog,
So I joined de white watch
Trained as a white guard
Lived off the white economy.
Caught and beaten by de whiteshirts
I waz condemned to a white mass,
Don't worry,
I shall be writing to de Black House.
©Benjamin Zephaniah
My favourite poem of his is I Have A Scheme, but I couldn't find a copy. Let me hear you say ROTI ROTI.
