Our Steve Coogan and Rob Brydon of poetry
conduct a road trip through their oratory
They conceal and then reveal precious word sounds.
I’ll bet you one sand. I’ll kick sand in your face and raise you one chalk!
I’ll tell you a Charlie Brown story, take that!
Oh yah? Top this reading of Robert Burns!
No! I win the day reciting my heartfelt love poem to my wife!
No! I win the day telling how Robert Burns changed my life!
This buddy road trip through poetry always ends in a draw,
As fragments of feelings and poems lie scattered about.
But good friendship, humor, and love of language always prevail.
and sustain us through adversity one more time!

The combative couplets create their own rhythm.
