Southwell Again



The latest issue of Gilbert includes a report on the Chesterton Conference this summer, including the winning entries in the Clerihew Contest. I got an honorable mention for my Southwell poem:

St. Robert Southwell

sat musing for a spell,

then sadly said, “It does seem a shame

Americans don’t properly pronounce my name.”

Ah. 

It does seem amusing that in prining my poem about not properly pronouncing his name they list me as living in the wrong city!
