Soft Sell (final for Keith this era)

[tectak]

Fun read, thanks for posting.
A couple of small meterbumps to my read, but if i understood correctly  the last line was a comment to Keith not part of the poem and this was written in 1960 and posted more to share with Kieth rather than to recieve crit.   (If it is not too rude to ask - what age did you start writing poetry?)

Hi cider,
I posted my first "recorded" poem a few weeks ago to encourage the newbies not to delete work through shame Keith liked it and asked for another. I obliged. This is the last of the trio from loose pages in a very old exercise book. It was almost indecipherable being written as on palimpsest... crossings out and corrections everywhere.
There are others but none are in their entirety...some may be thankfull.
I wrote my very first rhyming"poem" when I was nine years old, according to my mother. It was about the fishmonger's horse.
All I can remember is :
Mister Neddy pulls a cart
and on our hill you hear him fart...

Best left undiscovered.
Regards,
tectak
Thanks for your comments. If I was any prouder I would improve this but modesty being what it is...
