Yes. The rude ones especially. 'Arsehole' was the first poem I turned to in that Craig Raine collection. But maybe that's just me.
The ones that say the poems are useless are also intriguing..,
I'm thinking about the titles that send a shudder down any editor's spine when they appear in the inbox:
The War-Song of my Heroic Lingam
Hitler's Spawn Lives in Downing Street
Buffy in Twilight-World
Poets! Rise against the Zionist Conspiracy!
I Dream of Jesus, and he Speaks through Me
A Selection of Unrhymed Limericks
Listen, Crass People of Worksop, for I am the Bard
I don't think I can write poems to fit any of those, so anyone else is welcome to them.
At the moment I'm working on 'Mournful Reflections at Penge Crematorium.'
