In Competition No. 3253, you were invited to write a poem entitled ‘Song of Myself’ in the style of the poet of your choice. High
fives all round for a terrific entry, and an honourable mention to Martin Parker/Ogden Nash:

From spermery to wormery
via germery and infirmery.
 
Looking back,
life has been mostly alas and alack.



The winners pocket £30 each.
