Better to write for yourself and have no public, than to write for the public and have no self. - Cyril Connolly

Dreamy Ode to Ridiculed Love
Oh, this poor, poor man. All the really awful, terrible limericks, stanzas, quattrains, iambic pentameter and haiku's that come rushing to mind, but he has to come up with real poetry to "commemorate" this event? Every job has its share of burdens I suppose.

How do you solve a problem like "Camilla"? If you are Andrew Motion, Britain's poet laureate and the man charged with producing a cheerful commemorative poem about Prince Charles' impending marriage to Camilla Parker Bowles, none of the obvious rhymes - vanilla, flotilla, Godzilla - seem appropriate, somehow.
I just hope he manages to work in an equestrian theme.

    There's always "Len Tukwilla, Driftwood Sculptor"... that should be easy enough, right?
