Hi Daniel,
This is interesting.
I have to say, I'm sitting here, working on the pc but also listening to the Test Match between South Africa and England (Cricket). It took me several read-throughs to realise that your cricket was a grasshopper, not a batsman - the click being leather upon willow. But, as we've just scored another wicket, I don't mind Mr Hoppy having a mention.
Now I know that it's an insect you're talking about I also don't mind the point - had it been the game I would have been arguing that poetry is nowhere as great as cricket but I'll accept it is greater than a grasshopper (though I suspect Biologist Fran might argue otherwise).
Most amusing, Daniel.
James.
