Byron or Blake?

How many poets does it take to change a light bulb?

The trouble with being a visionary like Blake is that not everyone understands one's visions (*v*)

W.-B. observes that John has turned into Father Christmas! How pleasant, W.-B. Perhaps there'll be presents and suchlike. Hooray!

Mrs T was here this morning and we remembered a Christmas poem she wrote a long time ago. It started:

Nobody wanted to go for a walk,
that Christmas afternoon,
so I put on my boots and i went up the hill.
me, by myself, all alone!

The trouble was, Brother Adrian found it so funny, she couldn't finish it. But we all remember those lines (^v^)

Jolly St Nick indeed! There certainly ought to be presents, but for that, I should be on my phone - my grasp of technology dictates it. :D

I think your mum's poem is perfectly nice, in an A.A. Milney sort of way. But Milne can put a smile on my face, so I am in sympathy with your Brother Adrian.

"Never go do to the edge of the town without first consulting me."

And coming back to the laptop, also this wonderful song by Cornershop:

Woo-hoo! An A.A. Milne poem! And presents, yay! (^v^)

What an astonishing assortment, John. Yes, it makes sense to eat, play, dress up. And a wonderful song indeed. The dragon is particularly good!

Astonishing is the operative word! And I am very glad you enjoyed the song, which got a lot of airplay from me back about ten years ago around when it came out. I think it's fab, and the paperclip dragon is indeed a particular high point.

The song is excellent, John. There ought to be a poem about a paperclip dragon (^v^)
