I don't want to touch it. I am writing simply to say how delightful I found it, and to say I wish I'd written it. The long sentence within the parenthesis was fine for me, especially with that last line 'and placed it in the fridge' don't ask me why, I just loved the matter of factness of it.
The second verse was even better than the first. The idea that to create a poet you need an eccentric soul living on the fringes of society says a lot about us. The final delight was the 'hamster' bit. Again, so domestic and real which served to highlight the lunacy of the poem.
This is an adult poem, but it would work really well in a book of poetry for teenagers.
