Edward Thomas Wrote Over 140 Poems In Two Years and I'M Going To Do the Same
There was that bloke:
That war poet?
Rupert Brooke
He apparently said; and I quote
I suddenly realised that
The
Ambition of my life has
Been - since I was two - to go on a military expedition
Against the Turks
That's a bit much, isn't it?
Like a cup of
Oniony tea
I will beat Thomas
And if you got into a car
The instructor wouldn't
Say
To you, "Well
What do YOU think?"
