Triantiwontigongalope (I always want to alter the final verse to sound like a description of Gallifrey), and "Hist... Hark" by CJ Dennis, Scroobius Pip and Owl and the Pussy Cat by Edward Lear, and A Bush Christening. On the "get ASAP list" are A.A. Milne, and Spike Millagan.hyperion79https://www.blogger.com/profile/16917948487584355937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22696356.post-61440131572804364952010-12-01T21:36:48.511+11:002010-12-01T21:36:48.511+11:00Thanks all :-) I'm glad you like it!

I delurked you! :-) Lovely to know you're still reading and I love that you hear poems in your dad's voice.mimbleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10907569024689875694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22696356.post-18329062587500528962010-12-01T21:13:08.684+11:002010-12-01T21:13:08.684+11:00Your quotes and lists brought back memories of poe...Your quotes and lists brought back memories of poems that will forever be (in my head) spoken in my dad's voice. I've started Elspeth's collection but you've reminded me of a few more books I need to track down.
