    He also wrote:

    Nag, nag, niggle, nag
    Spit your life away
    Waggle your acid in front of the placid
    And establish your right of way
    Then pick a point
    Peck a point, grind it on a nerve
    Nag, nag, niggle, nag
    Till you get what you deserve.

    What a lovely poem, and of course Leo has yet another claim to fame - he was the
    London bookseller in '84 Charing Cross Road'. Anthony Hopkins played him just right, and I can just remember the actual shop at No 84, with a dark coloured? black frontage.
    I also remember how my family were likewise [; eased to get food parcels in 1946-49, though in this case not from a famous author in the US, but family in Canada..

    I have just heard The Life that I Have read out over the radio and would love to track it down.

The Life That I Have

The life that I have
Is all that I have
And the life that I have
Is yours

The love that I have
Of the life that I have
Is yours and yours and yours.
