My poem: Mister Goby: gen
My own list poem based on Chapter 12 of Agatha Christie's After the Funeral. Mister Goby was my favorite part of the book.
Objects in the Room Mister Goby Looks at Rather than Hercule Poirot by okapi
[left-hand corner of the chromium-plated fireplace curb]
Mister Goby is a small and spare and shrunken man,
[electric plug socket] an information agent
who protests education and finds fault [lampshade]
with the youth of today. [cushion on a sofa]
[left cuff] he consults a scrubby little notebook. he licks
[radiator] a finger and turns a page, rubs a nose.
[door] he winks, nods, shakes a head, so like a furnishing,
so non-descript [patent leather shoe] as not to be there.
