Porter, Madam ?--By Alan McAlpine Douglas--United Kingdom

Porter, Madam ?

Were I not such
a gentleman,

I would notice the bags
under your eyes,

and offer to help
you carry them.

Alan McAlpine Douglas, father to 5 and grandfather to 3, has been writing poetry since 1993. His idiosyncratic voice has produced thousands of poems in this time, and he finds it quite hard to stay serious, even when he means to. He also enjoys writing spoofs, using well-known poems or songs like Clementine or In the Ghetto as his models.
