Notes About The Poem

Globe Theatre - 17th century, London, by Suzette Richards - image generated.


*There are various pronunciations of the name of this London borough.


 

Scribbler From Southwark

There is an old scribbler from Southwark*
Who’s poetry undoubtedly sucks.
	She couldn’t pronounce ‘poem’,
	‘Cause she rhymed it with ‘home’.
Ain’t posh enough, innit, so she’s stuck!
