Scott Reads Poetry episodes
- "Terence, This Is Stupid Stuff" by Alfred Edward Housman
A humorous poem about poetry and drinking. Housman is a master of the couplet, and the meter really makes this poem a rewarding read.

1 min - "Ulysses" by Alfred, Lord Tennyson
This poem is one of my favorites.
The Greek hero of the Iliad and the Odyssey gives an account of his life and purpose before he sets sail on his final journey. The final section ofthe poem is actually quoted by Judy Dench's character "M" in the Bond film Skyfall. She, of course does a better reading than I.

My reading of this humorous poem about a husband who is forced to choose between his wife and his tobacco.
