Keats

[Boringgeoff]

The prison officer addressed the assembled prisoners, "This mornings presentation will be given by Professor Slock, Head of the Literature Department at the University, on the subject of Keats. I don't suppose any of you bone-headed crims would have a clue what a Keat is, or what they're used for."

[AlexS]

Back in the day, the pollsters rang up to ask what I thought of Keating. I told them I'd never keated.

[Chief Tiff]

Nice one!

Similarly;

Irony is writing "Your an idiot"

[Old Croc]

Well obviously I am a boneheaded woodworker,
What's a Keat?
Crocy.

[Boringgeoff]

Ah, now I remember you Crocy, you were sitting just to my left at that lecture!

John Keats was a poet, the prison officer was the bonehead.

Cheers,
Geoff.

Geoff.

Oh, excuse my ignorance, a purveyor of poetry I am definitely not.
Crocy.

[Crunchie]

Probably not funny, but only one of John Keats' quotes have stuck with me over the 52 years since studying his work.

...and can I ever bid these joys farewell?
Yes, I must pass them for a nobler life,
where I may find the agonies,
the strife, of human hearts.

[Ruddy]

All this culture about literature……
Reminds me of the time I asked a young girl if she liked Dickens…
She replied,,,Don’t really know, never been to one!

[Chesand]

Probably a sign of our age when we can say that we know about Keats.

[Mr Brush]

Going back even further (for anyone, anywhere, who was ever subjected to Latin at school)....

As the original advise to the prisoners was verbal, it may not have been Keats but instead Keets and the talk was to be about Guinea fowl.

I did Latin for 5 years at High School thinking that I would need it to do Pharmacy.
One of the first text books bought was "Latin for Pharmacy Students"

The only thing I can remember of Keating, is "What's the difference between Paul Keating and his Mother"???
Nothing, they both raised pigs!!!!!
