Findus Crispy Pancakes and ‘The Fairies’
What’s that? You’re hungry enough to eat a horse you say? Well luckily for you I’ve just been to ASDA…. Arhhh who’d have thought that a horsemeat scandal would be what it took to resurrect Rhyming Couplets (almost from the dead, like the meat in a modern lasagne)! Unbelievable as it sounds I actually had […]

Orlando Bloom and ‘Or’
October 21, 2012
Rhyming Couplets began to feel close to Orlando Bloom when she realised she had inadvertently been doing her hair in the same style as his in Lord of the Rings. Yes for a while there she looked like a particularly Hasidic Elf. But it was the pointy ears that really sealed the likeness. No, no […]

Usain Bolt and ‘The Race’
August 6, 2012
Cooee Rhyming Coupletees – I know it’s been a while (although funnily enough my last post on Boris has now come round to being Olympics-topical again…ha, how like 80s fashion he is). I’ve just been so caught up in planning the Olympic Opening Ceremony (pretty ace I thought), giving Boris a haircut so that he […]

May 19, 2012

See I would argue that poetry is also a mind altering substance. It is one of the few art forms that can genuinely change your mental furniture. Sometimes an image or line resonates and appeals so strongly that it plants itself in your head and changes your mental landscape forever. In ‘District and Circle’ Seamus […]

Tony Blair and ‘The Healer’
March 10, 2012
What is Tone up to these days? Isn’t he being “special envoy” to the “six pack” or some other role that makes him sound like Peter Andre’s butler? No, no, Representative to the Quartet on the Middle East, that was it (not that I mean to belittle the Middle East Peace Process in any way…I just […]

Chevy Chase and ‘The Ballad of Chevy Chase’
February 21, 2012
Yes, there really is a poem called ‘The Ballad of Chevy Chase’! Too good to be true eh? And, it also clears up some previously inexplicable literary references: when Cathy says to Hareton Earnshaw in Wuthering Heights, “”I wish you would repeat Chevy Chase as you did yesterday; it was extremely funny!”, it was not an […]
