"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!!"

MY PURSE MADE ME DO IT
ONCE UPON A TIME,IN THE
1990s
There was a Clinton
Presidency
Which survived impeachment
proceedings
with many unanswered
questions
History loves
Dynasties-Kennedys,Bushs
and now the distant prospect of
a Hiliary
(always remembering why she
lost to Obama-
and why we may not wish her as
Commander
Elizabeth Warren and Bernie
Sanders seem the team to beat
but they have no desire for
power (pity!-
they would transform the
Presidency
into a service model-not a
divisive split
between what we need-and what
we have..
