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?"

URBAN NOMADS
GWYN &DREAMER ARE URBAN NOMADS
They walk until they find a spot,then drop
It varies according to weather and their tiredness
Once,Gwyn worked among the rich on ski resorts in Colorado
He knew the grand-daughter of Ray Kroc of McDonalds fame
She was given 25 million on her 25th birthday
and $30 million on her 30th .She asked for a ride to the airport.
But what she wanted was her private airport.She gave him a gold coin-
"This will give you anything you want (as much as you want)@McDonalds"
So he ordered 100 cheeseburgers and handed them out to homeless
For a tip,he gave the gold coin to the McDonalds staff ,asking that they share the booty..
These days,at the food pickup,he drops off food to the STARBUCKS workers
They do not say "Thank You".Most of the veggies are new to them(they do not know their names)
One by one,Gwyn and Dreamer are melting the Corporations-into humanity.

...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.
