Walk
Barry Humphries (geb.
1934)
I think that
I could never spy
A poem lovely as a pie.
A banquet in a single course
Blushing with rich tomato sauce.
Neglected Poems
and Other Creatures (1991) |
Born in Melbourne, Barry Humphries is renowned as a
caricaturist, satirist, entertainer and a poet. He created
his outrageous Edna Everage in 1955. Later came Sandy
Stone, Barry McKenzie, Les Patterson and many other
characters. All satirised the empty materialism and
pretensions of th suburban middle classes.
