THOM THE WORLD POET: The Daily Poem


Rob Ayling writes: 

"Thom the World poet is an old mate of mine from way back in my history. Even pre-dating Voiceprint, when I was running "Otter Songs" and Tom's poetry tapes and guest appearances with Daevid Allen, Gilli Smyth Mother Gong are well known and highly regarded. It just felt right to include a daily poem from Thom on our Gonzo blog and when I approached him to do so, he replied with in seconds!!! Thom is a great talent and just wants to spread poetry, light and positive energy across the globe. If we at Gonzo can help him do that - why not? why not indeed!!" (The wondrous poetpic is by Jack McCabe, who I hope forgives me for scribbling all over it with Photoshop)

HAVE YOU EVER NOTICED
(HOW PEOPLE LOOK LIKE THEIR FOOD?
Pork Chop man gives a bad name to pigs
Little Lamb Man with Spectacles
Vegetarian slim thin carrot stick woman
Big Beefy stock pile buffet boy
Each gets their just desserts
Plates fill,empty,get washed
return like past and future lives
What we were once(devouring)
we will return again.
