SAY AFTER ME . . .
Declaration of a Poet Manqué
I . . .
MALAKI JUBILATION SNODGRASS –
Aka Roland of the White Rose –
And living a blissful prelapsarian life of the Imagination,
Being of covinous and unsound mind,
And possessing unlimited gall and braggadocio,
Do solemnly declare that, hereafter.
I shall endeavour
To remain in perpetuity,
And in ignorance of the consequences,
A committed dodipoll;
A resolute seeker after fake knowledge and untruth,
A dedicated harbinger of future inanity,
And forever an arbiter of other people’s predilections.
Signed and witnessed this 17th day of June,
Twenty twenty.
MALAKI JUBILATION SNODGRASS
{ Citizen of this Parish and of Planet Earth }
