TOSH

I wrote a poem
in which Christopher
Columbus
steps ashore
and is
captured
by a reggae band

sent back to Spain
to convert the Catholic
Churcb
to the wisdom
of Jah

and Charles Bukowski
Jim Morrison, Jimi
Hendrix and
the Doors

managed to slip aboard

strangely, their
preferred destination
was the siave port
of Liverpool
