THOM THE WORLD POET: The Daily Poem

  

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?"

MEDICINAL HUMOR(ONE PUNCH LINE REMOVED)
I BEGAN BY LIKING NOH HUMOR
Where vacuity and pointlessness reigned
Moved on to Dark Humor-to fill up all the Dark Spaces
Surrealist humor was next-with the emphasis on FISH!
My ethical friend surged me to move on to Vegetable Humor
What's so funny about Broccoli or Brussel sprouts?Brexit?
In the interest of brevity,i resort to one-liners.Death.Infinity.
I like Buddhist humor most of all-removing punch lines
so no body feels any pain.(Pink Floyd..Comfortably Numb)
Now that Comedy has turned Corporate,i resign.
So call this "Contemporary poetry"It does not have to rhyme..
All the time..

...BECAUSE SOME OF US THINK THAT THIS STUFF IS IMPORTANT
What happens when you mix what is - arguably - the world's most interesting record company, with an anarchist manic-depressive rock music historian polymath, and a method of dissemination which means that a daily rock-music magazine can be almost instantaneous?

Most of this blog is related in some way to the music, books and films produced by Gonzo Multimedia, but the editor has a grasshopper mind and so also writes about all sorts of cultural issues which interest him, and which he hopes will interest you as well.
