Okay, okay.
Let's start off with my mentor and personal friend ...
Ladies and gentlemen, please put your hands together for ... the man who dreamed of Faeryland ... Mr W. B. Yeats - !!!
The Second Coming
Sailing to Byzantium
Byzantium
A Prayer for my Daughter
The Tower
Lapis Lazuli
The Circus Animals' Desertion
Adam's Curse

What Then?
Nice one, son! (But I have to say ... there are loads of his poems that I like more than The Tower.)
I could easily do a BIG TWENTY for Billy.
Next up ...

Mr T. S. Eliot - !!!
The Waste Land
The Hollow Men
The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock
Journey of the Magi
Ash-Wednesday

Oh, he's cheating though, ain't he? ... with all those big poems.
Yeats missed a trick there, but ... I won't, you dig?
And we've run out of poems, anyway. Only six!
Never mind.
Er ... W. H. Auden??? I can't. I mean, his books are in the back room under a pile of junk with spiders and rain and Christ knows what else.
Okay, okay.
One more.
Old misery guts himself ... Mr Philip Larkin - !!!

Aubade
The Building
Church Going
