Performance Poets comical poem 642 by Angela Lansbury

 

Angela Lansbury with her 2025 book Embarrassing Moments. Left, Emma Purshouse, with her book It's Honorary, Bab, which I bought and she signed, and Steve Pottinger with his book Snapshots from the fall of home, which I bought and he signed. 


These people jump around the stage
And make their words leap off the page
They wave their arms, exuding charm
Extend alarm and life's choices in funny voices

With black and white looks
And red and black books
Beard, brunette, blonde, words stick like honey
Always say yes, do anything for money

Putting a new slant on old news
Guess which rhymes follow from old clues
Rainbows of fun flow like clouds across the blues
A heady mixture of truths, lies and surprise.
