by John Lillison, England's greatest one-armed poet (first man to be run over by a car)
THE POINTY BIRDS
O pointy birds, o pointy pointy,
Anoint my head, anointy nointy.

IN DILLMAN'S GROVE
In Dillman's Grove my love did die,
And now in ground shall ever lie.
None could ever replace her visage,
Until your face brought thoughts of kissage.

Maybe it's just me, but I actually do find "In Dillman's Grove" rather poignant

Here I sit, same as ever,
took a dump, pulled the lever,
the toilet clogged, the water flowed,
look out world, it's the mother-load!

Just watched L.A. Story again and laughed my butt off when Hariss tries to get his love back and starts reading 'Pointy Birds' then gets a window slammed in his face before the end of the first line!
Genius.

I don't know how Steve Martin keeps a straight face during those scenes! If I ever met him that would be my only question to him. How the hell did he keep from laughing? This movie is only second to 'the Jerk'!

Ah yes! The Great Lillison. A true legend of poetry writing. A.dare I say it?genius whose talent was painfully obvious in these 2 classic gems which put Baudelaire and other such losers to shame.
Birds are pointy. A powerful, deep observation which will echo through the ages like a giant gong in an underground station.
They don't write 'em like that anymore.
Thank you Steve Martin for bringing to light a forgotten mastermind of literature.
