I Wished I Was The Water -edited

[Mopkins]

In the eighties I was listening to Mum and Dad's records from the sixties and that was modern enough for me. Now it's the teens and I'm listening to eighties music. The poetry is even worse. If it's not over a hundred years old then I most likely haven't read it and probably don't care to... Perhaps in my old age I'll listen to hiphop and read noughties poetry to recapture my middle age...

So far noone's told me off for using old daggy terms in this poem, suppose it's still coming?

Anyhow, here's to dusty old books and out of date poetry - gotta live a little wildly don't we?
