I have spoken before about poetry having a life of its own, and I feel I should elaborate on this statement. I can wake with the remnants of subconscious words, and I have taken to recording them before I rise.

As a narrative therapist, Ros uses wordplay, poetry, drama, drawing, storytelling, and playwriting as techniques to help unravel inner worlds. People feel less threatened by using these techniques rather than questions and digging in the psyche. People's stories provide rich material of which they are often unaware.

There is something fitting about linking the Savoy operas with limericks. Both are likely to appeal to people with a certain type of sense of humour. Why are the Savoy operas funny?
