The Big Day

Today is World Poetry Day, and here at NigeCorp we're very excited indeed. I am wearing my best chiton in honour of the occasion and am just putting the finishing touches to this year's Pindaric ode to Euterpe (I'm having a little trouble with the antistrophe - you know how it is). 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...
