Harold Pinter Poems
- God Bless America
Here they go again,
The Yanks in their armoured parade
Chanting their ballads of joy
As they gallop across the big world ... - I Saw Len Hutton In His Prime...
I saw Len Hutton in his prime

The sun will come out ... - The Ventriloquists
I send my voice into your mouth
You return the compliment
I am the Count of Cannizzaro...
