WARDROBE MALFUNCTION
Instead of Narnia we wound up in Oz
which was fine aside from the lion
who took some getting used to.
PTSD is no joking matter.
The tiger on the other hand…
SIMPATICO
Quite often I finish
my wife’s sentences.
It’s not such a big deal.
I get it right too, well,
every ten or twelve goes.
I call that a win.
’NUFF SAID
There are many things not in this poem
but that is how it should be.
Not everything belongs in a poem
even if it can be made to fit.
Jim Murdoch has been writing poetry for fifty years for which he blames Larkin. Who probably blamed Hardy. He has published two books of poetry, a short story collection and four novels.
