Again, I empathise strongly - yesterday, I was pissed off because The Guardian published the same crossword as the day before, and my lunchtime entertainment was ruined.

Actually, I think 'Don't make me angry / I'll only get mad' is the best part of this poem. Cut away the rest and leave those two lines.

Have you ever watched the 1941 John Ford adaption of 'How Green Was My Valley?'. Everybody talked in Irish accents and it was total bollocks, even more so than the book. It beat Citizen Kane for the best picture oscar. I detect a smidgin of irony in this poem, but I've got a cold and my irony detecting is affected. By the way, the mines were all shut years ago. There's only one left which was bought as a co-operative by the workers. You should read the poetry of Harri Webb, a fine Welsh poet (who is the subject of my developing doctoral thesis).

I don't quite get this. Could you afford us an explanation? I like it verbally, but don't know what it's about.

Read 'A Martian Sends a Postcard Home' by Craig Raine. He did it better. And first.

This doesn't make sense. Not to sure about the scansion, either.

Suburbia is a good subject for poetry. Thank god I have left it to live in the big city of Swansea.

Fantastic! I knew somebody out there would answer my plea. I also like the innuendo in the third one!

Is this about Tim Westwood? Or Tim from Big Brother?

I do like this, but I'm not quite sure you achieve the lyricism you're striving for. And the last line is a definite disappointment.

Quite fucking right. My vote goes to Cromwell, because he cut the heads off people like her.

It's 'Love You To' by the Beatles, written by the great George Harrison. But you have changed a couple of things, so you could argue it's your new interpretation. But that would be bollocks.

I don't think the labour party want you to be whore. Mr. Blair is too nice a man for that. I think there's some middle ground between the housewife and the prostitute.

A venture into the sad underbelly indigenous British music hall tradition. Pathos out of comedy - a classic paradox. Very nice.
Re: George Bush, Jesus Christ, and the good ole US of A! by dougsoderstrom	6-Nov-02/7:23 AM
There was a strange man named George Bush Who seemed in some sort of a rush: For he won an election When he should have been sectioned That crazy young man named George Bush!
Re: Some Things by Christof	7-Nov-02/4:21 AM
I'm sat in a library now. Books are very sensual things. Things are not as they appear to be. I particularly like the contrast between the wholesomeness of bridge and baking and the wickedness of Ms Nin.
