I studied The Rime of the Ancient Mariner for A level and learnt it off by heart as I loved it so much. Can probably still remember most of it.
Here goes...

Don't worry, I'm not that mean...or bored.

Can a frau find the clip of her plinky plonking on the piano? One handed and looking wistful? I've tried but can't.

Obviously, I won't watch it because it's burned into my memory where I was very close to dying of The Cringe.

I love the fact that Iron Maiden did a song based on it, which is described as a very abridged retelling.

It's nearly 14 minutes long.

Given that Larkin got mentioned by Jack at some point, I'm surprised we've not had a They fuck you up, your mum and dad mention yet.

Or, as someone I know recently tweeted, after mentioning Larkin, "They read your tweets, your mum and dad"

The Larkin she misquoted is that same poem, but she chose the third stanza rather than the first. Don't have any kids yourself, the final line of the poem, seems an odd choice for a woman who recently struggled through several miscarriages, but that was THEN, etc.

OT, just been thinking linking up the comment on Gyles brandreth and oscar wilde. Gyles wrote a series of books based on Oscar's life, which includes run in with various classic authors. They are in my opinion fantastic books. I read them during lockdown and was actually sad when I finished them.

No wonder Harold ran for the hills. Imagine your Saturday night being Jack honking poetry at you as you're trying to enjoy a steampunk cream soda in the hopes of dislodging a thumbprint cookie from your gullet.
