What a Cameron!
Argh well you might already have heard of David Cameron's blog, at webcameron.org.uk, where twice weekly, a new video is posted of him clearing up porridge or something. It is actually hilarious. Also, he visits the New Delhi Metro. I had no idea India had a Metro.
But anyway there's another site you should go to - webcameron.com, the site of poet and performer Cameron M. Semmens. He's got some pretty fizzy poems up there, such as 'Fruit 35' which is a bit like a monologue I wrote a while ago that is meant to be said by a giant apple, who is the Best Man at his friend's wedding:
I have been asked to give a peach to celebrate one of the most beautiful
figs in the world; marriage. On the day after tomato our two grape friends
will be sunning themselves in the Sardines. They have cultivated a great
parsnip in their field, and have decided they are ripe for marriage. They
are two peas ready to be joined in the eyes of pod. I could (if I so
squished) list many raisins why they have grown together.
But I have to say Sat, Suma, I am in love with you. This is not just
passion, fruit. This is no trifling matter. I speak from the bottom of my
tart and I grate to say this in front of my best blend, for he is Golden,
and, I suspect, Delicious. But from the moment I set my pies on you, I have
been fertilised. We could have been a great pear. I feel like a compote
saying this, but it is the truth. The puree truth. But kiwi be together? No.
I have made a pricot fool of myself. So I shall mango back to the
fridge.
I am sausage.
