Hey up! All of us too lazy to respond to requests from the PoCaff about National Poetry Day should go and vote NOW at: http://www.bbc.co.uk/education/poetry/npd_vote.shtml You can vote for your favourite song lyrics ever. My teacherific Mom told us about this after all her kids were mass voting for "4 to the 3 to the 2 to the 1, I'm on the microphone and I'm hot like the Sun", in their Information Resource Centre (school library) on Friday. We were going to vote for "You're so hot you should be a candle, So good to hold you shoulda been a handle", or "A scrub is a guy who thinks he's fly, also known as a 'bus stop'", but as these were most likely deeply-loved mishearings, we submitted the Paula Wilcox couplet from 'Photo Jenny'. In the light of events earlier this year, an organised B&S drive might not be that sensible. But it would be a great laugh if next Thursday Griff Rhys Jones did his usual tremendously drawn-out countdown, before forcing Rik Mayall or Roger McGough to dress up in orthapaedic shoes, or some boy's jumper, to 'interpret' the winner. Apparently The Nation's Favourite Haiku last year only totalled about 7,000 votes in all. we out, joex ********************************************************************** This email and any files transmitted with it are confidential and intended solely for the use of the individual or entity to whom they are addressed.
