This poem is really really A-M-A-Z-I-N-G! Thank you so much for giving us the chance to enjoy it, Mr. Milligan :)

The serious side. Yet he can still conclude with something of a laugh. Wonderful. Paul.

Spike Milligan always had a unique sense of humour which carries in this poem. One should see the funny side of life, and in the ordinary Spike found the absurd fascinating. One should think of the Goon Show as the more absurd version of this poem. Humour is a great restorative, particularly to something treated so seriously as spurned affection (which I assume is the object of this poem) .

how can this poem not be in the top 500? ? it's great

good poem, thats how love hurts......

The mental wounds don't make a visible mark but is more painful than a bruise.

Very emotional and spoken from his heart. Sums up the very depth of his depression,

a bloodless poem that is painfully true some people look well yet are blue? ..........wonderfully written.

Within his depression he brought so much talent through his work mostly know him from the goons shows but his writings were an extension of his personality you must read his biography a great read!

Poem directs a solid thing - injured without lnjury.The poem may be edited by the poet a little to make the injury more sweet.
