Could it perhaps be the other way around? That poetry comes from tangled and crude hair? Personally, I hope not, as I am quite bald, but who knows?<br /><br />Either way, I go with John Lennon when he said that "madness is the first sign of dandruff". Just in case, I try to avoid dark shirts.Lorenzo — Alchemist's Pillowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07522265816460154722noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6862054200092259163.post-18429286518619468052010-06-03T14:44:54.739-07:002010-06-03T14:44:54.739-07:00Thanks Peter, I shall think about that alternative...Thanks Peter, I shall think about that alternative title, <br />Acorn, poetry is such a powerful thing sometimes :-) very kind of you to give the go ahead.<br />Thanks Titus, am starting to feel sorry for that little s now... with everyone just ganging up on it!!

The world needs a lot more of that, maybe he should patent and promote it.<br />I so identify with this poem I should weep. The final lines,<br /><br />"and who wants to be here, when home is so nicer<br />with its puppy dogs tails, and its sugar and spicer<br />and there's no con artists, selling kegs for a treasure<br />and there's no closing time, just bed at your leisure<br />no queueing for taxis or trembling sins<br />life's much more relaxing on a quiet night in"<br /><br />is perfection.

And if it is a rousing success, you may just convince people to ... well, walk out and go home for a quiet night in ... unless of course you can convince the place to change their name for the rest of the night to The Quiet Night Inn. There you have it, a pun, the lowest form of humor ... or so they say.<br /><br />On a serious note, the poem works nicely, Niamh. Go ahead and read it, and do so with your hair all "tangled and crude" so you can have the best of both a night in and a night out.Lorenzo — Alchemist's Pillowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07522265816460154722noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6862054200092259163.post-25559125501180533952010-06-03T01:37:32.351-07:002010-06-03T01:37:32.351-07:00Good call Dominic, am inclined to agree (re that e...Good call Dominic, am inclined to agree (re that extra s)<br />Thank you Gwei, I'll have to see whether it'd fit!Niamh Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06519443787482685320noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6862054200092259163.post-2321550995968158542010-06-03T00:42:39.191-07:002010-06-03T00:42:39.191-07:00Oh what a great poem.
