Today is World Poetry Day, and here at NigeCorp we're very excited indeed.

At the appointed hour, I shall don the laurel crown, rise to my feet and, while my devoted deputy smites the lyre, I shall declaim. Libations will then be poured, and if it goes anything like as well as last year, success is guaranteed.
It's also World Puppetry Day, but let's not go there...

About Me
- Nige
- Nige, who, like Mr Kenneth Horne, prefers to remain anonymous, was also a founder blogger of The Dabbler and a co-blogger on the Bryan Appleyard Thought Experiments blog. He is the sole blogger on this one, and his principal aim is to share various of life's pleasures. These tend to relate to books, art, poems, butterflies, birds, churches, music, walking, weather, drink, etc, with occasional references to the passing scene.
