Poems for People Who Don't Like Poetry

Are you adverse to a verse? Do you find odes odious? This show is the antidote to anyone who thinks poetry is the highfalutin domain of sonnet wheedling PhDs. Sam Steele is closer to Dr Suess than a Doctor of Philosophy. Come and find out: If a Toucan Who can Can-can, can Can-can With a Crow, and hear about Sam Mourning in Moorning, with Noon at Twilight. Can't do DIY? Hate IT? So does Sam – he'll tell you why and you won't even care it rhymes.
