Don't Worry - Recommended Poem

I surprised some of you this week by saying not to worry about making mistakes so much.  I don't mean don't try to pass your exams and tests, they are important because you need those little pieces of paper, but don't let fear stop you from experimenting with English.  One of the top UK poets (I had the privilege of seeing him perform in Nottingham once) Benjamin Zephaniah, might convince you, if I can't.  Double negatives, grammar all turned about, but it forms part of the poem and it works! 

 

Your house is
Falling down
Around
Your
Feet,
And you got
Nought
To eat,
Don't worry
Be happy.
