This is a great poem Paul.
I love the fact that you have acknowledged that these majestic creatures survive (or should survive) on the planet for a far greater expanse of time than we do ourselves. Perhaps they have more right to be here...

This is a great poem and far superior to the only other bit of verse that I have ever heard on the subject of snooker which is, of course. the song 'Snooker Loopy' by Chas 'n' Dave ... which I loved at the time but I was much younger and more...
