Nice. But I don't get the Nirvana reference.

There once was a strange man called George Who from nowhere could fashion a war He won notoriety And caused much hilarity His words he was forced to disgorge.

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.

Bernard Manning's is a fat racist tosser. Frank Skinner's just a tosser, although I did like his 'Why the wide face?' comment to Sophie Ellis-Bextor.

A venture into the sad underbelly indigenous British music hall tradition. Pathos out of comedy - a classic paradox. Very nice.

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.

I'll glad you recognise Mr. Donegan's genius. I phoned my dad on Monday, and he'd been listening to all the old records in memory of the great man. I've never been to it, but I'm sure the Rock Island Line is a mighty fine road.
Re: George Bush, Jesus Christ, and the good ole US of A! by dougsoderstrom	6-Nov-02/1:37 AM
Just for you, here's my very bad Bush limerick: There was a young man named George Bush Who had no brains but a headful of mush He wanted a war No-one knew quite what for To avenge an old man named George Bush?

Why can't we all just love each other?

Sorry, I got bored during point one. Do you ever worry that you're a deeping boring person?

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

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

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

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

The point is the revolutionaries do suck, they only pretend to be revolutionary.
Re: a comment on St. Andrews University Marxist Society by Nicholas Jones	3-Nov-02/4:19 AM
SI've never been in a Starbucks, which I think is some kind of achievement. I've been into Costa and asked for a cup of tea, which provoked a look of mild astonishment. Anyway, socialists don't drink coffee, they're like Tony Benn who has a cup of tea on the hour every hour. Maybe I will write about pubs which I have known. Best pub in England, by the way, is The Windmill in Whiteley Green in Cheshire. But don't all flock there and ruin the ambience.
Re: a comment on St. Andrews University Marxist Society by Nicholas Jones	1-Nov-02/2:39 AM
I am glad you recognise the wryness. Incidentally, pretty much all of this is true - I actually did meet somehow who was the only member of the communist party in Shetland. Everyone in the Marxist Group thought I was right wing because I was in the Labour Party, while people in the Labour Club thought I was a dangerous lefty because I sometimes went to the Marxist thing.
Re: untitled by skinda	1-Nov-02/1:54 AM
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.
