Gyles' poem this week was 'You're a Big Man, But You're in Bad Shape' by Roger Harvey

And the poem read out earlier on in the podcast by Gyles was called 'Poem' by William Carlos Williams:

As the cat

climbed over

the top of

the jamcloset

first the right

forefoot

carefully

then the hind

stepped down

into the pit of

the empty

flowerpot
