Story and Poem of the Week and Inspiration Point 15th October 2021

This is more difficult every week, in my experience.

Story of the Week among some stiff competiton is Celticman's 'Vermin', a powerful piece leavened by some of Jack's deft comic touches.

Poem of the Week goes to Gothicman's 'The Senile Neurologist.'  Best read aloud to appreciate its scansion and flowing rhymes, it is both funny and sad at the same time, which is no bad thing.
