See Ron, that's what makes us all so different. I think poetry is more like chocolate to be savoured, slowly - or at a pinch - Tia Maria!

"Death is a very dull, dreary affair, and my advice to you is to have nothing whatsoever to do with it."
W. Somerset Maugham
(Not sure who Maugham is but he sounds very wise).

"It is foolish to tear one's hair in grief, as though sorrow would be made less by baldness." Cicero
Now Cicero obviously knew a thing or two. Sorry I can't tell you what his real name was!

Poetry is not made to be sucked up like a child's milkshake, it is much better sipped like a precious malt whiskey.
Stephen Fry

Indeed Neville, and on another page in the very same book, Fry quotes the chocolate thing - only I can't find it so i'll leave you to look for it!

I have noticed with teenage girls, is the ones that are close to their Dad are the ones that have the less issues.
Girls need a Dad more than boys.
Boys need a Mum more than girls.
