The Next Poet Laureate?

I suppose if Britain has to have a poet laureate, it should really be the great Benjamin Zephaniah.

In the meantime though, Lee Jasper, who is currently in the job market, sets out his claim with this little number:

"How many ways do I love thee? As the air I breathe and first gentle dew on a golden summer morn.

As much as the Brazil national football team or aki and saltfish. I love thee feet, ankles, legs, thighs, bum and belly, arms, head and brain."

I suppose it would be too much to hope that Jasper would support the England team of Rio Ferdinand or Ashley Cole, but putting football matters aside, this is clearly a man of exceptional talent who should go far.

Perhaps, when the full nature of his sleazy relationship with Ken Livingstone is revealed - as far as a prison cell!

Don’t forget John Cooper Clarke as well. He and BZ could job share the position!
