Yes, the bookies probably wouldn't give you odds on some of these. I post this pour encourager les autres and at least attempt the challenge of Bazza's fork.
A thoughtful grey-haired trader
In books across the seas
Whose name was Norman Nadir
Once uttered words like these:
'I read a Rider Haggard
Some hippy lady hurled
Across my shop, then staggered
Back to her pot-marked world.
Although much-scuffed and tarnished
SHE passed some hours away;
Would more have been thus garnished
Had it been titled THEY?
Worse mental fare I've eaten
Yet cannot quite regard
His works as things to sweeten
The brain like literary nard.'
