Jeremiad
#1
My favourite poem. It will mean little to those unfamiliar with UK "pop culture", perhaps, and not that much to those who are, but I love it.

I used to think I
was my own worst enemy
and so did many
of my friends.

But I wanted to be sure

so I kept a diary:
a record of names and faces ,
fluctuations in pulse,
blood pressure,
respiration,
frequency of swearing
and kicking the cat.

You get the picture.

Turns out I was wrong.
My worst enemy
is Jeremy Kyle.
I only made 4th place.
I grabbed 3rd
on the death
of Jeremy Beadle
but I’d have to do something
really stupid
to overtake
Jeremy Clarkson.
Before criticising a person, try walking a mile in their shoes. Then when you do criticise them, you're a mile away.....and you have their shoes.
