Ah Bazza. He should be Poet Laureate except that I don't think he would want to write poems praising the Royals. Whereas I...

The Queen, the Queen
Is a great human bean.

When do we get a book, Bazza. We wait impatient for the day to dawn.

[Brian Allgar]

Yes, I remember Bazza's piece. It made me snarl and wince - not because it isn't excellent or funny (it's both), but because it gave me the disquieting and unwelcome suspicion that Bazza may have an even filthier mind than my own.

[Wintaka]

I came.

I saw.

I concurred.

[Terese Coe]

Bazza is, of course, one of the masters of the misnomer "light verse." My previous oversight was very naughty. Ouch.

[Allen Tice]

My major plaint with Ransome-Davies' tender lines is that he didn't say "whock" instead of "whack". It's a much thumpier vowel sound.

[Ann Drysdale]

Allen, you, of course, may do as you please, but here in the UK we do not whock.

[Allen Tice]

What, never?

[Ann Drysdale]

Never, Sir.

We might honk ironically from time to to time but we do not whock.

[John Whitworth]

How do you whock, Allen?

[Ann Drysdale]

Trust me, John. You don't want to go there.
