While in school, I loved John Dryden, Jonathan Swift and Alexander Pope and
by extension the bunch of the Restoration poets whose wit and humour really got
to me. They thrived on satire and parody and turned sarcasm into a veritable
art form that even my head which usually refused to cram anything memorised
some lines that last till this day.
In recent times, I have always loved reading The Fifth
Official on ESPN soccernet.com where the writer always takes a semi-cursory, humour-laden
look at the soccer events of the past week. I might never rise to the stature
of Pope and Dryden or The Fifth Official but there’s no harm in trying to imitate
them.
I’m an entertainment journalist with special emphasis on
music and here’s my own humorous sighting of last week’s events. I will try to
make this as regular as possible if you like it…
