A bit political maybe?

A rugby song for poets. And a funny last verse.

This is very funny. This is exactly what would happen if Jesus turned up in Wales. Have you read Nicholas Jones's stuff on here?

You're spot on. That's exactly what I meant. But other people have read stuff into it that is equally valid, which is interesting.

That's better. Now I can start to feel indignant. Grrr.

Stop being so nice to me. It makes me blush.

You gotta love Jeff Buckley, and this poem is great. A little bottle or two is damn right. I saw the man play in Bristol in 199-something and he was incredible. My Makers Mark habit started that night. Anyhow. Glad your show went well.

Partly; there's also the idea of a score as in a literal mark left by a chisel and as in the rating that can be given to the narrator as a person. Actually I hadn't even thought of the poemranker interpretation but it works. Thanks!

Your use of language is a bit peculiar sometimes - neither 'blithe' nor 'askew' is a noun. I wonder if you could find proper adjectives?
