Harold Pinter Oct 1930 - Dec 2008

This poem was first published here April 2006.

Harold Pinter - Is He Dead?

No! he's not.

But according to a 'Who Wants To be A Millionaire'

contestant,

he died 'very, very recently!'

He was sure he read it somewhere.

he definately died '

very, very recently!'.

But he didn't.

He just won the Nobel prize for literature'

very, very recently!'

- that's all.

Eve Taylor is nine 'very, very recently' and lives in Limerick.
