Talk of Jaspistos, aka James Michie, made me go to my poetry bookcase and get his book called "Last Poems", published posthumously in 2008; he died of throat cancer in 2007. His poems were witty and most were short, the last one in the book being:
Cancer, or the Biter Bit
I used to fancy crabmeat as a treat:
Now Crab's the epicure, and I'm the meat.
