Lou

When a young lady whose name is Lou
Behaved in a manner most blue,
I said, “you would look quaint
Covered in red paint,
But blue doesn’t suit you Lou”!

When a young lady by the name of Lou
Jumped in a vat of glue,
And I asked her why?
She made reply,
“Its just something I like to do”!

Monday Morning Humour

There once was a man named Moat
Who went to sea with a goat.
When his ship it sank,
The captain, Frank
Said, “will someone save that goat”!

There once was a young lady named White
Who haunted my home at night.
A sceptic named Ted
Said, “the dead are forever dead”,
Now she haunts his house at night”!

Andrew Motion’s Top 10 Tips For Being A Successful Poet

A very good piece by Sir Andrew Motion, former UK Poet Laureate, in which he gives his top 10 tips for being a successful poet. I particularly agree with his view that poets should not cut themselves off from the world or, as he puts it “live in an ivory tower”. I also agree with Motion that its important to read lots.
