He's

He's a jazz poet and a blues poet

He's a nothing to lose poet

He sits there smoking, sometimes drunk

Listening to Miles, Mingus and Monk

Scrawling his poems on crinkled pages

He's been a poet for ages and ages

He hasn't a laptop, phone or typewriter, 

so scrawls his verse with a yellow highlighter

He's in publications that are so hard to find

Seek them out, they might blow your mind!
