Last Friday, to mark the 200th anniversay of Wordsworth's poem Daffodils, there was a mass reading of the ditty by 250,000 schoolchildren across the UK. One shudders at the idea. This event was discussed on the morning news programme on BBC Radio 4, and some commentator mentioned that a friend of his was in the habit of subsituting the word 'crocodile' for 'daffodil' in the poem. Try it: '...a crowd, A host, of golden crocodiles' is a great improvement! John Grimshaw Website: http://www.colesbournegardens.org.uk/
