I Don't Wanna Be Nice
A Plagiaristic Poem Woven From The Words Of Dr John Cooper Clarke
Introduction
Armed with "Ten Years In An Open Necked Shirt", I have stolen lines from the poems of John Cooper Clarke to weave this masterpiece. The platform has made it clear that I cannot write poetry (in their misinformed opinion), so I am taking the words of a real, recognised poet, The Bard Of Salford.
As usual, I am making it quite difficult by maintaining a syllable count and "ABAB" rhyming sequence in the four quatrains. I have had to slip some words in, and some may seem a little nonsensical but this is probably my most Plagiaristic Poem.
The concept is similar to Found Poetry.

Do You have a Support Network?
Life is harder when youβre on your own. Human beings are social creatures, and we usually feel better when we have support from a strong social network around us. For most people, itβs our families that hold us together like glue.

Nicely plagiarized, Mike.
Enjoyed this, Mike <3
Nicely done!
Oh, this brings back memories, I went to see John Cooper Clarke in Sheffield, and then randomly bumped into him in a pub in York a few weeks later! Very funny, friendly guy.
