The true poet is a pacifist
Probably gay, quite often pissed
Look at Auden and Benjamin Britten
Britten wrote music – you get the gist!
Both fucked off to America at
The first whiff of powder – not brave that
But both did service to the Muse
Wore her laurels, with pride in fact
Orwell's the stranger on this list
Puritan, hero, novelist
Brave as a lion, fought in Spain
It's a good job that the bullet missed
