Darren - this is brilliant. The best yet, in my opinion. There is comedy to this piece, of course - but that is the superficial side of this poem. It's real excellence comes in the bitter truth of it. I was actually sad by the end of it; I was expecting a comic twist, but the truth of it hit me first, if that makes sense.

Darren, I know I go on, but these really are exceptionally imaginative pieces you have penned; well done!

All the very best,
Ben

No effort, Darren - a pleasure.
