It's National Poetry Day and yes, it should run for a week, or a month, or even longer. Here's my book about reading one short poem very closely for a year - and what a poem! www.saggingmeniscus.com/catalog/a_cr...

The 1st time i delivered leaflets for conservatories and extensions to a block of flats I told my mates about it in the pub and we all had a good laugh at the absurdity of it. Having done it many many times since over the last 30 years, it’s no longer worth a comment. Absurdity is the new normal
