Ahem, at least two 'I was funny...' badges. I was also pronounced 'Very Silly' at the Wareham Wail. (I'm not saying what for). John O'Hagan thought I was 'superb', Lynne Heraud said I was 'brilliant'. I'm thinking of having these put on a t-shirt. Oh, no! I hope I haven't given anyone any ideas...
I always suspected that Dogsbody's grasp of scansion was feeble at best.

(In evidence, I submit the Tom Paxton Song Book and the Ramblin' Boy LP). Must go now and pick my plums - ah! there they are!
It's not yer plums that you need to pick, it's your spots. Your spot last night was, and I say this advisably, way out of scansion. A caesura would have been a natural outcome after the first breath. Of course there will be those that appreciate everything you do. It's just not fair!
