  • Great reading, perfectly pitched.

  • Thank you. It's hard to tell how it sounds to others and your opinion is very gratifying.

  • Great reading.  Preferable to Larkin's.

  • Wonderful reading.

  • that's the "stuff" that dreams are made of - yes we all think it - funny and tragic

  • slant rhyme and perfection

    I really liked this arrangment

    But we all know Philip Larkin

    and his ironic understandment

  • Larkin - gets to the truth of the matter, "stuff your pension," - I don't think so, (but we all think it).
