Neither is the Horse

I’m reading a lot of poetry at the moment.
Here’s some very entertaining verse from a book I bought at the National Theatre bookshop.
It’s called Neither is the Horse and other poems
By Rory Motion
(Huddersfield’s legendary poet laureate)

Golgotha

And so I said to the assistant
“Do you sell crucifixes?”
And she said, “Yes…
Do you want a plain one
Or one with a little man on?”


Well, it made me laugh. More info here…
Neither is the Horse

Think globally, act locally
Think cosmically, act stupidly
- Rory Motion

That's great! And being in the retail business, I can see her point of view as well.

In fact, it's even funnier from her point of view. She can get away with ther! Ha ha.

I used to love the progs. on radio 4 that Rory Motion did with another poet who's name escapes me for the moment. very funny. they are repeated occasionally late at night on radio 7.
