From the album: Poems copied out by Mercian
This is one of Gunner Milligan’s poems from his book Silly Verse for Kids. I have omitted its ‘P.S.’, because I think that it detracts from the work’s pleasingly-pithy poetic gestalt. On a personal note, I need to practice my ‘serif handwriting’ more, not only to be able to incorporate the serifs less-awkwardly, but especially so that I write with e.g. uniform letter heights. And I definitely need to work on my ‘a’ 🙄 Ink: Pilot Blue/Black; Pen: Pilot Metropolitan, ‘CM’ nib; Paper: a sheet of Rhodia 80g/m2 ‘High Grade Vellum’, taken from a No. 13 bloc pad.

From the album: Poems copied out by Mercian
This is a copy of ‘Rain’, by Spike Milligan. It sometimes gets called ‘There are holes in the sky’. When zoomed-in this close, one can really see how poor my writing is - in my defence, your Honour, many a work that is still in-progress can look like nothing but an appalling mess 😉 In this case, it looks like one because it is an appalling mess! 😁 Pen: 1960s Parker Duofold Junior ‘M’; Ink: ESSRI; Paper: a sheet of 70g/m2 wide-ruled (8mm line separation) A4, taken from a WH Smith refill pad.
