No i haven't been giving mouth to mouth to the Poetry Parrot. I merely want to publicise the arrival of the poems that were sent in for Charlotte Hall's 'impossible rhymes' competition. If you want to see what the finest minds of a generation could come up with then check it out http://www.zigazigah.mcmail.com/sinister/orange.htm Maybe the Poetry Parrot has succumbed to the winter cold or perhaps migrated to the temperate climes of the sha-la-la list. Maybe it's become Arts Critic for Trousers's mag. Could we ever find a replacement... is that the waggly tale of the Poetry Puppy I see....or the athletic leap of the Poetical Porpoise. If nobody finds the Poetry Parrot I may have to don my shamanistic robes and animate one of these crazy critters. Must give further big ups to Mark Radcliffe's book Showbusiness - if you like him you'll love the book - I had a delicious time on holiday luxuriating in his fabulous self-deprecation and general printed Quality Items. Can you belive he was once in Skrewdriver! Cross-ply and Radial - don't mix them John xx P.S. John Warrender - I'm wondering what FML stands for..
