Source Of Irritation Poem by Keith Shorrocks Johnson

Sprung from the horse's arse or gouged by hooves
There is a stream of desperation
That carries fools on viewless wings of poesy
And stains their lips with inspiration.

Improbably feather-winged Pegasus
Equine aerodynamic stallion
You certainly farted or kicked up a fuss
Knocking a wet spot on Mt Helicon:

The later source of much irritation
By those who abjure the beaded bubbles
And consequent inebriation
Attributable to poetic fantasies -

Avoiding maddening draughts that might have been
'Full of the true, the blushful Hippocrene'.
