Now - did John Keats ever play the ukulele?

Not to my knowledge - what a shame! Just imagine: "Ode to a Little Stick of Blackpool Rock"...

One of my university final year courses was a bibliographic study of Keats which, involved, among other things, doing some research in his Hampstead house - which was the Hampstead Public Library in my time there - and looking at first editions of his works in the British Museum Library. Fascinating stuff.

Now for a beaker of Hippocrene, with beaded bubbles winking at the brim. Cheers!
