Maureen McGreavy Pigeon Tart Poet Light Verse

A Unicorn Walks Into a Bar

He walks into the bar 
Like a movie star

With swagger 
Out pouring the lager

Topped by a mop 
Of such mythical proportion

It hushes the crowd 
With its absorption

More adorn
Than a unicorn

Waving a pompadour 
As big as a brontosaur
