Somebody and nobody

Everybody who's anybody (or nobody) should read this wonderfully witty little poem by Alfred, Lord Tennyson (1809-1892):

Somebody being a nobody,
Thinking to look like a somebody,
Said that he thought me a nobody:
Good little somebody-nobody,
Had you not known me a somebody,
Would you have called me a nobody?

And if a revered Victorian poet-laureate could have such an experience, then there's hope for us all.

I've spent much of the afternoon dipping into poetry books, and I always find gems I've not read before. This was one of them.

Have a lovely evening, blipmates. (I shall be watching - you've guessed it! - Strictly!)
