Poetry	A
	-
	-
To you my aunt who would explore	B
The literary Chankley Bore	B
The paths are hard for you are not	C
A literary Hottentot	C
But just a kind and cultured dame	D
Who knows not Eliot to her shame	D
Fie on you aunt that you should see	A
No genius in David G	A
No elemental form and sound	C
In T S E and Ezra Pound	C
Fie on you aunt I'll show you how	E
To elevate your middle brow	E
And how to scale and see the sights	F
From modernist Parnassian heights	F
	-
First buy a hat no Paris model	G
But one the Swiss wear when they yodel	G
A bowler thing with one or two	H
Feathers to conceal the view	H
And then in sandals walk the street	C
All modern painters use their feet	C
For painting on their canvas strips	I
Their wives or mothers minus hips	I
	-
Perhaps it would be best if you	H
Created something very new	H
A dirty novel done in Erse	I
Or written backwards in Welsh verse	I
Or paintings on the backs of vests	I
Or Sanskrit psalms on lepers' chests	I
But if this proved imposs i ble	G
Perhaps it would be just as well	G
For you could then write what you please	I
And modern verse is done with ease	I
	-
Do not forget that 'limpet' rhymes	I
With 'strumpet' in these troubled times	I
And commas are the worst of crimes	I
Few understand the works of Cummings	I
And few James Joyce's mental slummings	I
And few young Auden's coded chatter	J
But then it is the few that matter	J
Never be lucid never state	C
If you would be regarded great	C
The simplest thought or sentiment	C
For thought we know is decadent	C
Never omit such vital words	I
As belly genitals and	C
For these are things that play a part	C
And what a part in all good art	C
Remember this each rose is wormy	D
And every lovely woman's germy	D
Remember this that love depends	I
On how the Gallic letter bends	I
Remember too that life is hell	G
And even heaven has a smell	G
Of putrefying angels who	H
Make deadly whoopee in the blue	H
These things remembered what can stop	K
A poet going to the top	K
	-
A final word before you start	C
The convulsions of your art	C
Remove your brains take out your heart	C
Minus these curses you can be	A
A genius like David G	A
	-
Take courage aunt and send your stuff	L
To Geoffrey Grigson with my luff	L
And may I yet live to admire	M
How well your poems light the fire	J
