    This is no time to sit and think;
    Farewell to study, books and pen,
    And welcome to all kinds of men

    PPB has some unexpected fans.

    Well, at least PJ isn't as obsessive a fan as HarryLiar; he only reads a PPB poem now and then writes to tell me he's ignoring it. HarryLiar, OTOH, ignores it with his undivided attentinn, opening threads on PPB every week while making sure to tell us in each one that he doesn't really care about it at all.


    This is a response to the post seen at: http://www.jlaforums.com/viewtopic.php?p=699715772#699715772

    This poem by W. H. Davies has sure put him in the spotlight for a change.
