Spike Milligan

Spike Milligan, my kind of poet, amusing, fun and simple.

Said Hamlet to Ophelia,
I'll draw a sketch of thee,
What kind of pencil shall I use?
2B or not 2B?

I met Jesus on the tram. I said 'are you Jesus?', he said 'I am'.

He's a genius I tell you, a genius. A nice reprieve from some serious stuff. I recommend that they include some Milligan in my college English book. He's not always such a cheerful fellow, read "The Soldiers at Lauro" for a rather different mood. He was a soldier you know, poor Spike.

Oh, and here's a PDF file of his works and yes it's pinched from Poem Hunter.
