My goshlee gee, £6 stelrling pundations per singular pome? Woahza Albert and ishka maninga!

I'm gonna haf to launch a 'poetry bus prize' and buy a small island off the coast of somewhere polluted by oil and then extract that oil from the sea and sell it at £6 per gallon so that I can enter a few other peottery complemitiotions,or maybe not bother me arse at all and keeps the jingle-me -jangle in me pocket as these glittering prizes things seem to be increasingly irrelevent to poetry as I know and (not) understand it.
