It's Ernst Jandl's 100th anniversary this year and I'm edging slowly and surely (surely!) ever closer to completing Jandl Songs, started in 2007...

I really hope Laszlo brings him along for the Nobel speech. I love that performance!

I wrote about the bedtime poems my children have most enjoyed over the years, from a Cumbrian shepherd counting rhyme to Gertrude Stein someflowerssoon.substack.com/p/crap-poims

I'm not sure if Harold Munro's name was intended as part of his poem but that's how I read it!

good luck

all of us wish everyone all the best:
that the blow aimed at them might just miss;
that, although hit, they don’t visibly bleed;
that, while bleeding, they don’t bleed to death;
that, if they bleed to death, they don’t feel pain;
that, racked with pain, they find their way back
to where the first false step has not yet been taken –
each one of us wishes everyone all the best.

(Ernst Jandl translated by Edward MacKinnon)

Nothing has been stated yet but the company at the top of the chain has form for stripping out the companies it has bought

It's not clear at the moment, but the company behind the company who bought it have form for asset stripping, and it's already been becoming far less usable in the past year or so
