Rob Ayling, yer Gonzo Grande Fromage, 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 Thom's poetry tapes and guest appearances with Daevid Allen, Gilli Smyth and 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 within 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?"
WHEN YOUNG,NEWSPAPERS HUNG ON A NAIL
(Uses for literacy manifold-
And wonderful reading material!
Those were the days of cloth diapers and clothes lines
Young know nothing of Depression glass
Closest they come is Recession 2008
So when they have no toilet paper,they become alarmed!
Bushmen used leaves ,Romans used cloth on stick
They only know the destruction of forests-so we petition
that at least it be 100% recycled,and that real soap
replace this fetish for hand sanitizer-
and they get to learn aloe vera ,herbs,and natural antiseptics
eucalyptus,tea tree,as part of cleaning-
vinegar,apple cider vinegar-clean your CPAP machine,elders
and teach the young that toilet paper comes from a tree
and we need more trees than we do toilet paper
so RECYCLE PLEASE!
