Sic Transit Gloria
A piece of whimsy. And I did find a Roger McGough book at Emmaus, bot not in a box. Indeed I’d of preferred to use ‘Doctor’ John Cooper Clarke as the subject, but it would have spoiled what rhythm was in the lines. And I like Roger McGough!
Sic Transit Gloria
Emmaus Cambridge;
Found in a box,
Some picture frames,
CD’s and books,
One of which
was the collected poems
of Roger McGough.
D G Moody
If you look hard enough then there will be always be a McGough!
just the right sentiment without being sentimental.
Thanks again. And yes, there will always be a McGough – one of my hero’s, not least for the good work he does on behalf of poetry. And I confess to being an avid trawler of charity shops, car boot sales etc.
