Dear Editors,

It's difficult to restrain the urge To write a few lines about 'The Dirge'. (See Jan Crier. Eds)

(Some people still listen to 'The Archers' then?)

So-

I wouldn't add my name, nor even initial

An opus that was all too superficial.

And as for appending a self-imposed title (!!)

I think poetic principle is rather more vital.

And also:-

It doesn't rhyme, It doesn't scan;

You should have asked someone who can

To write it for you.

It doesn't scan,

It doesn't rhyme;

I'd have done it if I had the time,

But I haven't; poor you.
