Nothing
by John Cooper Clarke

nothing isn’t anything
it’s tasteless and it’s flat
nothing if it’s anything
is even less than that
I’ve got that certain nothing
no one can do without
the Spanish call it nada
I call it nowt
I’d take the train but don’t care
to travel by myself
all the way from nowhere
to get nowhere else
nothing ever goes on
nothing never ends
say nothing to no one
it’s nothing to do with them
nothing going on and on
nothing wall to wall
it happens once and then it’s gone
leaving bugger all

old whippett i loved the 1000th post, i love the way we all discuss our moods with reference to poets now, not that we are obsessed or anything like!!!!!, hope you can get your Lap top sorted and that you have more of a "kenneth ormiston (see post 10)" than a "plath" day !!!!

thanx x runner for your list, and to think it only started on 18th oct!

looking forward to more great stuff on here today!
