Archetypes

Hello Poetry Lovers

Forgive the very old photo there! I still think I look like that!!

Today, I’d like to feature a didactic piece. This instruction form can be great fun with a numerous array of themes. I’ve decided to cover archetypes today.

Didn’t we go through at least one of these in younger days?! Read on

Lover

Kiss as many boys as you can

Even when they’ve got bum fluff

And stink of their Dad’s Old Spice

Smoker

Smoke as much as you can

Especially the high tar ones

Take a puff at every opportunity

Fool

Get off with every single boy in sight

And tell them you love them  

they’ll pay for you to get in the cinema

Outlaw

Nick everything that you can

Fags, drink and certainly lipstick

Stealing makes you big and clever

Jester

Swear as much as possible

Tell as many crude jokes as you can  

Make the air go completely blue

 Explorer

Go to every disco you can find

Do every Disco Duck routine

See how the floor empties  

Bystander

Always blame someone else

Then run off to the wings

And snigger quietly

Shocking advice isn’t it?! Thanks for reading, PL’s. I’d love to see a didactic one of your own. Write to Dobby on a postcard please.

Thanks for tuning in, PL’s. We’ll be back with more poetry action real soon….
