Head of English Today we have a poet in the class. A real live poet with a published book. Notice the inkstained fingers girls. Perhaps we're going to witness verse hot from the press. Who knows. Please show your appreciation 5 by clapping. Not too loud. Now sit up straight and listen. Remember the lesson on assonance, for not all poems, sadly, rhyme these days. Still. Never mind. Whispering's, as always, out of bounds — but do feel free to raise some questions. 5 After all, we're paying forty pounds. Those of you with English Second Language see me after break. We're fortunate to have this person in our midst. Season of mists and so on and so forth. I've written quite a bit of poetry myself, 5 am doing Kipling with the Lower Fourth. Right. That's enough from me. On with the Muse. Open a window at the back. We don't want winds of change about the place. Take notes, but don't write reams. Just an essay on the poet's themes. Fine.
