Sorry Patrick - I hadn't realised you'd had a ponder before I did. I think
unless Mr. P can come up with a water-tight definition of what constitutes
an amateur poet (surely not one that doesn't get paid - which is just about
all of us most of the time) I think we can rest peacefully in our beds.
But if he does try to eradicate us we can always become insurgents or
detergents or something relatively useful. Is he going to eradicate they
'post-modernists' to? I'm even more confused as to what they are.
