Default Mike Juster on Rattle website

Featured today on the Rattle website: a wonderfully droll poem by Mike Juster about the Queen considering her options for the next UK poet laureate. Here's the link. Congrats, Mike!

Nice one, Mike!
Her Majesty could have asked us at Eratosphere for some good suggestions...

Thanks folks!

I hadn't written any light verse for a while, so it was good to get back in the groove.
