 The Uncertainty of the Poet

Wendy Cope

I am a poet.

I am very fond of bananas.

I am bananas.

I am very fond of a poet.

I am a poet of bananas.

I am very fond,

A fond poet of 'I am, I am'-

Very bananas,

Fond of 'Am I bananas?

Am I?' - a very poet.

Bananas of a poet!

Am I fond? Am I very?

Poet bananas! I am.

I am very fond of a 'very'.

I am of very fond bananas.

Am I a poet?
