DOWN............

thyrkas, thank you for the Poetry Day info. We now have so many 'Days' or even 'Weeks' over here and I often find the information passes me by. I have enjoyed looking at your link and listening to the various readings. How many of you understood the strong Glasgow accent in the first one? Don't worry, it's almost incomprehensible to me too. ;-) There used to be 'poems/verses' advertising this and that at various Tube stations in London . . . the clever ones extolling the benefits of wearing wool were much enjoyed many years ago. King Arthur's knights sat sullen eyed "What ails thee all?" the Monarch cried Said one "It's this round table Sire, "The lads out there can't feel the fire." Quoth Guinevere "Poor faithful knights "I'll knit them all a pair of tights." Morale was saved, which proved the rule There is no substitute for wool.

Some interesting stuff.
