yeh I remember the progressive Barn Dance, Pride of Erin, Foxtrot, But the best of all was the last dance THE MODERN WALTZ with the lights down low Yes those were the days And the supper put on by the CWA at the Rodeo Dance Oh well back to my bread and dripping sandwich

Bill the old Battler

Played with a stick when I was a kid too. Have you played one of these video games the kids play now? They are AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! After two weeks I was Lord, Master and God of 6 Nebulas, 238 Universes and several billion planets, controlling 1670 Kazillion people, who very existence depended on me, and you want me to play with a stick? My grandpa spent half his life looking for Hitler! I found him and killed him in 20 minutes!!!! AWESOME!!!! But you want me to play with a stick?

Get with it Grandfolk Dudes!!! IT'S AWESOME!!!!!!!

But Keats when we played with a stick it was transformed by our imagination. The computer games don't need imagination, the computer imagines for you.
Maybe that's why we find it hard to get young poets. Poetry requires a developed imagination.

Ah, that was called s.a.r.c.a.s.m.

WHAT!! Neil McArthur Being sarcastic never….
