an almost accidental gathering of poets
 
   
 
 
Roger  McGough 
 
The fallen birdman
The oldman in the cripplechair
Died in transit through the air
And slopped into the road.

The driver of the lethallorry
Trembled out and cried: “I’m sorry,
But his own fault.”

Humans snuggled round the mess
In masochistic tenderness
As raindrops danced in his womb.



But something else obsessed my brain,
The canvas, twisted steel and cane,
His chair, spreadeagled in the rain,
Like a fallen birdman.
