Hello Poetry Lovers
Yes, you heard right! Once again, we had the delight of Barbara Brownskirt. This time at The Phoenix Arts Centre in Tottenham Court Road.
And I had the wonderful Sharron Green with me, who became an instant convert to this hallowed cagoule wearing genius. Plus her lovely pal Tracey Collins aka Elvis Lesley. Adore her as Audrey Heartburn too!
Even better, after this explosive show, Sharron penned this fabulous poem to our heroine(s). Sums up our great experience of last night. Do read on …
Barbara Brownskirt
last night we had a super time
at Barbara Brownskirt’s show
the poetry was just sublime
and she was in full flow
the Phoenix Art Club’s really cool,
a ritzy glitzy place
as Barbara stood in her cagoule
a frown lit up her face
the men-oh-pause was mentioned lots,
the menace of men-spreading,
for Judi Dench she has the hots,
she’d love a bus stop wedding
when Elvis Lesley, dressed in white,
gyrated and bedazzled
her lyrics were pure dynamite
she left the building frazzled
our time together was too short
the laughs it gave us plenty
clutching the gift pack Heather bought
I dreamt of SE20.
Wasn’t that a fantastic piece! Thank you so much, Sharron. So witty and really told it all! 
Our next mission is get to Barbara’s bus stop to protest against it being sanitised! As you can see above, Sharron is holding one of the limited edition packs of Barbara’s two collections plus a badge and one of Barbara’s pop socks. If I was her, I’d get that insured!
The Phoenix Arts Centre is a terrific cabaret venue and I would thoroughly recommend a night out there. Full of wine, margaritas and admiration for Ms Brownskirt, we went happily back to Waterloo.
Thanks for tuning in, PL’s. We’ll be back with more poetry action real soon…..
