I got me a Poetic Licence
and I ain’t afraid to use it.
My Poetic Licence means I can
use words like ‘ain’t’,
and no one can stop me.
My Poetic Licence means I don’t
even have to use a full stop
at the end of this sentence
if I don’t wanna
(I’m also allowed to use
words like ‘wanna’.)
When I flash my Poetic Licence
I’m allowed into buildings labelled
Authenticity, Emotion
and Artistry.
Other buildings won’t admit me
unless I hand in my Poetic Licence –
those places are named
things like Exams, Elitism
and Conformity,
but I got me a Poetic Licence
and I ain’t gonna hand it in
to no one.
See, my poetic Licence lets me
say things like this
at the end of a poem:
SAUSAGES!
Yeah I got me a Poetic Licence, kid,
and I ain’t afraid to use it…
Joshua Seigal
