My old friend, Jeff Grant told me the following story about his time in the army.
… “Reminds me of a story that went around in the army. The army weren’t exactly noted for the depth and rigour of their educational classes. But we had one
once a week in basic training. i can remember nothing whatever about it except this story that went the rounds. A squad of raw recruits were taken by their
NCO to their education class. He told them, as he left – “You’re going to get a lecture on Keats this afternoon. And you’d better take notice, ‘cos when
I come back I’ll want to know what a Keat is.”

Glad it made you laugh Tess. Kevin
It’s like the old joke: Do you like Kipling? I don’t know, I’ve never Kippled.
Thanks, I enjoyed your joke about Kipling! There was an advert on British television, about a baker of cakes/pies called Kipling. The ad said that Mr Kipling makes exceedingly good cakes and I always liked to joke that it could be re-worded to the effect that “Mr Kipling wrote exceedingly good poetry”!
