Samuel Johnson once said, after watching a dog dancing, that he was not surprised at seeing it done badly but that it was being done at all. After a lifetime of writing journalist prose, author Jim Scovel was fascinated at what poetry might be like and now presents to you his Poems Past 90. Enjoy this collection by a curious nonagenarian.
