We are the hollow men, We are the stuffed men, Leaning together, Headpiece filled with straw
by Jack Stilgoe
As a way of maintaining blog momentum and lightening whichever moods need lightening, I would strongly encourage our American (cable-enabled) readers to check out The Hollow Men on Comedy Central tomorrow (Thursday). The last time I saw them, they were gigging to an audience of about 50 above a pub on Highbury Corner. Now they're all grown up.
