How good is this poem, reviewed here?! In my eternal search for the perfect baby's name (see previous post) i thought i might find a name here, read out on Radio 4 by Joanna Lumley. The poem describes the infectious laughter of a school of girls and the effect this has on the teachers. It is a very long poem and it bubbles with names, always in dual form and always using the same rhythm.

I don't think I'd actually use any of the names (less of a hypothetical issue these days) but I might begin to pretend that my middle name is Tess in honour of the poem.
