Can I just observe in passing that John's piece, in limiting itself a to single joke - albeit perfectly timed, has crippled itself as a competition submission - but in the cause of being real poetry (Homer's shield of Achilles' and all that).
I wish I still had access to the classes of year 13's they used to give me when I was part of the Singleton Park festival. I would make them all learn John's poem.
Are light poets even allowed to foreground real poetry? Should Mr. Whitworth be required to join the Deep End?
