Subject: RE: poetry – as popular as clog dancing?
I `ad that Andrew Motion once a-riding in my cab.
`e said, " `ere Jim, can you do poems?"
I said, "I`ll `ave a stab."
I did a coupl`a verses about my love indoors.
Of `ow she cooked, made the beds and `oovered all the floors.
I said to `im, "Now Andy, whad`ya think of that?"
"It tells a tale about my life and all in seconds flat."
`e said, "That aint a poem Jim. It`s balanced and there`s rhyme"
I said, "Then was old Wordsworth a waste of bleeding time??!!"

Whaddam I Like??
