John Cleese
Dumps the BBC
I’ll never work with the BBC again
Says John Cleese of Monty Python fame
Though better than many comics
Of his age
At 85
You’d think he’d think
I'm just lucky to be alive
And perhaps should ease
Into a life of studied leave
Rather than complaining about
Commissioning editors not giving him
A shout
Anymore
Just showing him the door
You don't dump me I dump you
Would seem to be his view
I wonder if I live to that age
Will I be filled with such rage
Harper and Collins are just idiots
I’d say
For refusing my novel
What do they know
About book publishing
I could be the next

I don't know what to make of it. Every time I come across the word "woke" I wonder if people who use it all agree on the definition. Seems like they all have a different meaning of it.
Not sure if this was meant to be funny but I laughed hahahahahaha. Loved your poem. I do feel sorry for him though
He has a point, I think...
