Collected Poems
It's been Keeping me Awake in the Afternoons
It's been Keeping me Awake in the Afternoons
If wharfage
Is what you pay for using a wharf,
And haulage
Is the cost of getting things hauled,
And railage
Is the charge for using the railway.
Why isn't cabbage
What you give to the taxi-driver,
And garbage
The money you eventually hand over to your tailor?
