‘A Silly Poem’ . . . Spike Milligan

Spike Milligan … 1918 – 2002

Said Hamlet to Ophelia,

I’ll draw a sketch of thee,

What kind of pencil shall I use?

2B or not 2B?

. . . GENIUS POET – TRULY SILLY POEM !!! N.B. 2B is an indicator used in the primary UK graphite grading scale to measure the hardness of a pencil’s graphite core.

Thank you Roland, a gift of laughter by the immortal Spike, read by my daughter & I an hour ago and we giggle still.
