Cool piece, ever read any Roger McGough? One of the Mersey Sound poets, contemporaneous to the Beatles, fellow Liverpuddians. This work reminded me of his "Icarus Allsorts"

I enjoyed reading "Icarus
I enjoyed reading "Icarus Allsorts" by Roger McGough. My Rhyku was based on the recent spate of missile attacks but Mr. McGough's poetry reminds us that lunacy exposed by literacy have been around since the first missiles were sent aloft preceded by the first warnings. Thanks to you, Mr. McGough and the Beatles' "Imagine".
