I Read The News Today, Oh Boy

But it's not about me telling you when
it's my birthday
or if my daughter has done well
in her exams.

It's not about what
I had for breakfast
(2 weetabix and a mug of tea
if you're interested)

or who I'm going to be with
this weekend.
As far as I'm concerned
it's about running

with an idea and seeing where
it takes me.
I'd sooner write
that black is white

than bother you with when
or if
my divorce has come through.
It may be about nothing more

than making sure a word
beginning with w
is the last word on the first line
of each verse.
