The Bard of Bangkok

Our Secretary of State for Education has pronounced that children of 5 to 10 should learn things like poetry and stuff. In a discussion forum on the internet, I penned this ode. Oh! Flippin' 'eck and misery me What ever can that Gove chap be? Is he a gadfly or a pantomime horse? I doubt that I shall pass HIS course. I cannot deny that literature fair is something grand, even debonair but forcing children as young s five to read this stuff just cannot jive I quite agree with that dandy Gove that learning is one's treasure trove but there is just one thing to take as a rule the majority of us do not go to public school In other words, Gove out!
