Diary Of A Church Mouse


I have just reread a fantastic poem by Sir John Betjeman called, Diary of a Church Mouse. The BBC website calls it, "wryly comic" and it certainly is. It a very perceptive piece of social commentary. I also like its rhythmic nature. You can hear Sir John read it himself here - http://www.bbc.co.uk/arts/poetry/outloud/betjeman.shtml
