A Poet on a Mission.
John Cooper Clarke is a Poet on a Mission,
an important position,
like nuclear fission,
his words are shared
explosively,
making them heard
by those to be entertained
by the mystery of sound
and the stories found
in stanza after stanza,
a bonanza of tales,some absurd,
some low, some high
but John Cooper Clarke always hits bullseye!
What a guy!
In a suit and shades
his position of Poet on a Mission
is assured,
this wordsmith, this guy,
this rapper of the spoken word
is poet
to a muted, unsuitable world.
