| Tell us how you broke the world high jump record |
So, Graham -
If you would -
In your own words –
Tell us how you broke the world high jump record.
Well – I – erm –
Ran as fast as I could -
Yes?
Towards the bar -
Yes?
And –
when I was almost up to it -
About a step from it -
Yes?
I jumped up
As high as I could.
Thanks Graham -
That was great.
For the Incompetents

| Ginsberg good looks no longer de rigueur |
We are the incompetents:
Plimsolls sadly spare;
Grisly in granny-spun hair;
Ginsberg good looks
No longer de rigueur.
We who saw her standing there:
Discarded among coffee cups;
Lounging in corduroy;
Forlorn butt-ends of former days,
Making a spectacle of ourselves.
Timothy Leary’s dead-beats.
Imagine us
Without our ono specs:
Moles emerging from four thousand holes.
Our furrowed faces for you to slap;
Nicotine knuckles for you to rap.
Give your dog a boney-moroney Tony,
To keep your cupboard from being bare.
Spare a penny for an old guy.
