I am honoured to have one of my poems included in your list, Mark. It certainly indicates your good taste.

I would put all 56 tales in but I try to limit it to one or two poems per poet. I think it's time for a Barry Hodges fan club and website.
I was thinking about your dilemma with having your dates shot, bludgeoned, incinerated and/or crushed to death and it occurred to me that it might be wise to have them fitted for a bullet-proof vest or perhaps a full suit of armor. Otherwise, you will continue to have only short-lived sexual trists and you'll never experience the joy of a long-term relationship, though I'm sure you enjoy your own company immensely. After all, you're "the" Barry Hodges. Just a little suggestion, ol' pal.
