The free coffee is
awful the expensive
disappointing

*

So much for literacy:
Hordes of intellectuals
shoving and bickering
to exit the entrance.

*

Publishers beware!
Publish, and be damned by your
writers in chatrooms.

*

For those you do
you never do enough
and, for those you don’t,
your reputation’s stuffed.

*

A plagiarism
panel discussion? I’m sure
I’ve heard that before!

*

“There are no original ideas”
Now there’s a thought!
Who said that?

*

How clever of Edwin Morgan
to copyright his poem
about God not copyrighting
the Universe.

*

Narcissus at the wadi
was almost washed away.
So made himself a website
he visits every day.
