    I'm a poet but didn't know it

    Coronavirus: GCSE students allowed to drop poetry in 2021 exams - BBC News

    Maybe in 20 years we will regret this and have to add poets to the skills shortage list and fast track some in from overseas...

    If the next generation are to be spared from Gerard Manley Hopkins that can only be a good thing. Genuinely worse than Vogon poetry.

        so we can expect this sort of thing?


        Timepass my ass.
        Please do the needful
        To get a door pass
        Enjoy an Ear full


        My Auntie wears a skirt
        While I revert.

        I perform the Updation
        While waiting at Paddington



        apologies to anyone who ever wrote poetry.
        Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.

          You have missed your vocation. Sheer brilliance. Especially the second one. More please.
          Down with racism. Long live miscegenation!
