"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!!"

COMEDY BORN OF PAIN
To say what cannot be said
with wit,panache,a Swiftian

to bring bullies down in a pin
prick
to deflate egos/ask questions
hint @a human condition
including every possible response
Ask me why there are no jokes in
poetry
A-because the survival of poets is
impossible!
