I love Pam, been to see her myself and she's hilarious.  Great comic timing and a proper old Berkshire accent. 

Not a poem, but this monologue always cracks me up.

 

 

Hope she gets well soon, if it's her that's ill.

So a "Boys Own" World War II football/escape plan caper with Nazi's, Michael Caine and Pele was written by a Jamaican poet?

 

You learn something new every day!

Eccentric, controversial, loved, hated Finnish poet, writer Miki Liukkonen dead at 33. Death cause not mentioned but he had/had suffered from BPD, anorexia and depression. Possibly Finland's most famous living poet before his death, atleast according to  himself - from a 2015 interview: "I am Finland's most famous poet as Tommy Tabermann (1947-2010) is dead. I don't know if I'm the greatest, but atleast I'm the most famous."

Lauded for his translation of Virgil's Aeneid in his 90s. Various prizes and awards.

 

A pick in the Tic Tac Toe DP.

What’s sad is that every time I throw out my line you come and have a nibble on the bait.

You’re not stupid though, you know I’m trolling and yet you still bite. Why? Well because you can’t help yourself. 
 

I don’t mind this relationship. If it’s dependence you’re after I’m happy to keep feeding you. I’ll think of myself as the old wench on the steps of St Paul’s in Mary Poppins and you as one of my pigeons. 
 

 

Feeeeeeed the Quim. Tuppence a bag.
