Fantastic sci-fi, a proper old fashioned page turner.

Carl Sagan, The Demon-Haunted World: Science as a Candle in the Dark
One of the saddest lessons of history is this: If we’ve been bamboozled long enough, we tend to reject any evidence of the bamboozle. We’re no longer interested in finding out the truth. The bamboozle has captured us. It’s simply too painful to acknowledge, even to ourselves, that we’ve been taken. Once you give a charlatan power over you, you almost never get it back.

Today’s poem is called ‘The Bad Salad of William Archibald Spooner’.
The Bad Salad of William Archibald Spooner   Why do I always watch my birds? I know that statement sounds absurd but today I reached an all-lime toe when I received a blushing crow.   It’s wetting gorse – and here’s the crunch: my conversation packs a lunch. I’m not sure when all this began but I think I need a plaster man   to help me when my stouth gets muck. I should sit, perhaps, and bead a rook, fight a liar, or flick some powers. Think I’ll go and shake a tower. Brian Bilston
