[1351] London Airport

Guest poem submitted by Jayanth Srinivasan, <srinivsn@>:

Last night in London Airport
I saw a wooden bin
labelled UNWANTED LITERATURE
IS TO BE PLACED HEREIN.
So I wrote a poem
and popped it in.

	-- Christopher Logue

I found this pearl in the ninth edition of "Poems of the Underground". I
found the book at a used book sale and it's one of the best books I've
bought.

This particular poem is amazing in that's it's so small and simple and
yet so pleasing. You can interpret the poem in so many different ways. A
witty pun, perhaps, and nothing more? Or a peek into the insecurities of
the poet? Either way, you can't help but smile.

Jayanth.
