Had to choose a poem for a Zoom meeting.
Firstly, had a look through "The Nations Favourite Poems", but couldn't find anything to match my criteria (not too long, not too grim, not alluding to war or religion). So I found what I wanted in this book. Seemed surprising, given that Larkin was a librarian, that his poem called "A Study of Reading Habits" should end with the line..... "Books are a load of crap"!!
The extra is in response to Martinski's suggestion.
