Poetry Readings
Posted by Michael Knight

Some members had volunteered to read or recite poetry. Paul Milde introduced the session with an email from Burmo, an apology because he was at a cocktail party with politicians, and some history of the iconic ballad “Waltzing Maztilda”. Then we had five readers:-
| Kevin Watts, a short ditty on the secret of Longetivity. | ![]() |
| Michael Georgiou, two poems written by his son Nicholas, talent waiting for discovery. | ![]() |
| Michael Knight, read The Accounting Cat – Liquidity’s not there!! | ![]() |
| Bruce Spinks developed the argument, “has God got fleas” | ![]() |
| David Benn got away with murder, innuendo on a medical theme, and no mention of “penis”. He also dealt with Dogs and uninvited guests on the farm. | |
We ran out of time, and there is a backlog of poetry still to be recited, so we can expect more in the forthcoming weeks. John Hawkins, Burmo, Phil Mackintosh, George Thomas and Paul Murray are still to perform.
