A Silly Poem by Spike Milligan


Said Hamlet to Ophelia,
I'll draw a sketch of thee,
What kind of pencil shall I use?
2B or not 2B?

Hmmm. And what do Russians know of Spike Milligan? Have you just discovered him, or would he be someone Russians would generally have heard of?

It's just that he's a household name in certain English-speaking countries.

For The Goons (http://www.thegoonshow.net/) in the 50s, and, umm, a whole heap of stuff afterwards... (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spike_Milligan) (There's downloads of a couple of The Goon Shows on that site - should do your English a power of good;)

It mush be strange to never have heard Eccles...
