The tongue-twisters competition was indeed very difficult, as Lucy confessed and as at least one Spherian remarked. But when has difficulty got in our way? Bazza and Bill were there so was Robert Schchter with his Sunday name. And there were Martin Parker (who produced my personal favourite as a tongue-twister), Janet Kenny and me. £9 each so we took away £54. Well done us!
The new competition is something I have already tried out, often and often, on people taking courses with me wishing to be poets. Mind you, Lucy asks for the trick to be done SIX times which is well... tricky. Still, I am certain we are up to it.
