Customer Reviews

Jarring!
It was like this : I think I'll just have a lie down a listen to my new poetry CD. Nice poems, mellow voices and ...diddle - a dee, diddle a dee,
DIDDLE - A -DEE, DEE, DEE!!! What the heck is that electonic racket? The whole experience was ruined by the toy-like, tinny segue music between tracks. I'm going to have to " edit " these out. 'Tis a pity as the poetry is varied, entertaining and well read. I suppose if you planning to stay awake, it'll be O.K. but I'm going to knock off some stars for the unwelcome noise.

My plumbs tingle
I've read all the poems in the book many times over and never get bored. To hear them on this cd is good. All my tangerines are incorrigibly plural and the wanderer always returns with the the cock on his shoulder. And yes I too remember Adlestrop.So make your plumbs tingle too.
