Oh I'm sorry I'm getting carried away here, I'm referring to
The Song of Lunch.
Effectively it is a short story written in verse and performed by Alan Rickman and Emma Thompson.You probably wouldn't realise that it was a poem, though the language is brilliantly poetic. The Song of Lunch.
Poetry? I hear you groan!
No really this is simply brilliant.
It is hilarious, poignant and touching.
I dare you not to enjoy it. Go on check out the link:

I've put this book on my Christmas list.
