That's what they call you.
It must have been expensive
When your child's birthday
Came round.
Over the last few weeks I've read a number of works on some famous pilgrimages, and of course, the most famous pilgrimage in Britain is that to the shrine of Thomas Becket at Canterbury. And one of the greatest works of English literature is Geoffrey Chaucer's Middle English masterpiece, The Canterbury Tales, which uses a pilgrimage from Southwark to Canterbury as its framework. In the course of reading I came upon a reference to a book called "Who Murdered Chaucer?", authored amongst others by Terry Jones. Decades ago I read and enjoyed his "Chaucer's Knight". The book arrived in the post today, and I've literally just started reading. Hence the choice of Geoff for today's sketch.
