My Ken Barlow Poem by Tony Noon

My Ken Barlow

He is often here,
blue pencilling
unfiltered notions.

Advising on context,
he is the foremost
expert on other hands,

telling me when my
language is out of date
and most likely to offend.

I slip one under the wire
now and then, when he
is out looking for history.
