There was a question about a poem
I'd never read before
which kept using the word
gentian, a word I'd never
heard but which had to be a flower
My mind wasn't really
fully focused
Again and again with this
gentian; it quite began to grate
but I couldn't let this affect
my confused and sloppy answer
Was it gentian even with a hard
or soft gee - gestapo or gentle
Searching for the symbolism
with burnt out torch light
If I hurried I could turn over
the paper walk to the bar and
be first in line for
the pint and a pizza deal
What days
not of blue darkness and despair
Although there were some times
we slipped down the stairs
