Inspiration?

Well, now we know. To write poetry, illicit (or otherwise) drugs are necessary... The Poet Laureate relies on metre and malady


So, the tea-swilling ravens are in good company, with Dr Johnson also imbibing. Query: is there a link between tea and pedantry?


The manufacturer's comment had us rolling on the floor:

"Lemsip is not addictive. It is fair to say that it doesn't cause poetry in most people."
Would that we could get inspiration on prescription, tho'.

That's wonderful!

But as for inspiration by Rx ... personally, I'd rather have it available OTC. (And imagine the consequences!!)
