An Invention of Collective Nouns
A reckoning of spreadsheets.
A distraction of smartphones.
A prattle of podcasts.
A mispronunciation of scones.
A clique of photographers.
A heard of precedents.
An enjambment of
poets. A grope of presidents.
A pile of haemorrhoids.
A bunion of personal trainers.
A bout of estimations.
A condescension of mansplainers.
A stroke of geniuses.
A spot of adolescents.
An embarrassment of Richards.
A collection correction of pedants.
Brian Bilston
Today’s poem is called ‘An Invention of Collective Nouns’.

The Madison! We love Michelle Pfeiffer. I like the show but also feel like there’s something missing that I cannot quite put my finger on. Also Rebecca Spence 😍 baddie!
