To my mother and fatherIf I can get from here to the pillar box If I can get from here to the lamp-postIf I can get from here to the front gate before a car comes round the corner… Carolyn Murray will come to tea Carolyn Murray will love me too Carolyn Murray will marry me But only if I get from here to there before a car comes round the corner…– MICK GOWAR, FROM OXFORD’S ONE HUNDRED YEARS OF POETRY FOR CHILDREN This all started because of a clerical error.Without the clerical error, I wouldn’t have been thinking this way at all; I wouldn’t have had time.
