Description:

In his brief introduction, Griff Rhys Jones informs us that the poems included are a "selection of a selection" of the most likely candidates for the Nation's Favourite Comic Poem, an accolade not yet bestowed at the time of recording. Jones himself, plus Adjoa Andoh, James Saxon, and Christian Rodska, provide bone-tickling delivery, heightening the hilarity with their versatile voices--ranting, emoting, indeed, transforming their vocal chords into musical instruments of wit. Included are well-known works by Lewis Carroll, Edward Lear, and E.E. Cummings, as well as refreshingly original contributions by Spike Milligan, Brian Patten, and Patrick Barrington. Peter Hutchings's appropriately uplifting compositions add to the overall quality of this silliest of smorgasbords. (Running time: 2 hours, 2 cassettes) --Martha Silano
