Wait a minute ... the "BoJo cloon" is now foreign secretary! The man who recently wrote a limerick about the Turkish president having sex with a goat. Wake me up, it must be all an Alice in Wonderland dream. Great poem, Steve.

Thanks, gents. You're right, Harry – it is getting easier to read 'live'. I wouldn't say I've quite reached the stage where I'm enjoying it yet, but I'm getting there. It's certainly less of a struggle... :-)

Steve,
I can see what you mean by your mind-bending difficulty on this use of the particularly English nonsense kind of poetry in performance. I can imagine the way stress and facial gesture would have to be used to keep the audience `getting` the references...But I`m sure - with your experience - it can only get better and better...Not only that but these `victims` are going to be in the limelight for a while yet, as we get down to the Brexit nitty gritty....keep it before the public.
