I'd rather be fried alive and eaten by Mexicans,
Than to live in a world without poetry.
Poetry is an honest world, the world of the soul. This is how our talented and beloved poet relates his existence to the existence of poetry, Well done and shortened wisdom, with 5 bright stars
But if you were eaten by Greeks? Or Brazilians? Would you live without poetry then? Love this couplet!
Nice one Shaun...as for me I'd rather be fried and eaten alive by the predictable politburo of the current Labour party than live in a world without poetry! It's definitely a fab five from me.
A well thought poem..... Truly magnificent....5 stars*****

You make a good point, but If you were fried alive and eaten by ANYONE, at least that would prove that they have good taste.
