Dear L Childs
Thankyou for your letter of 12th May. What an original and entertaining reply!
Since I wrote to you I have become quite friendly with the workers building the Bovis
homes, and have discovered that most of them don't in fact eat Hovis bread, and that
what I took to be your bread was actually other brands of brown bread, notably
Allinsons Stone Ground and Warburtons. It is ironic then that the only one of
them who does eat Hovis, Declan his name is, is the least healthy-looking of
the lot of them, having a definite hump back and a limp, although this could well
be with him carrying a hod all day.
It would appear though that while Hovis may be trailing a little behind the
others in its health-giving properties, it could very well make people poetic,
because after I showed Declan your letter he immediately offered the following
ditty.
EAT BROWN BREAD
SHIT LIKE LEAD
NO BLOODY WONDER
FART LIKE THUNDER
EAT BROWN BREAD
I like to think of myself as a bit of a poet , but I am nowhere as adept
at the art as your good self and Declan, so with this in mind I am seriously
considering changing to Hovis in the hope that it will improve my poems.
I'll let you know if it does.
Yours faithfully  |
