The poetry of Bob Geldof

Summon the thinkers, and writers and culture geeks,
philosophy wonks and development freaks,
the economists
and anthropologists


Which is a few lines of a pretty good speech by Bob supporting Tony "Posh" Blair's Commission for Africa. The meter of this partially intentioned poetry reminds us equally of Christy Moore's Lisdoonvarna and any work by famed teenage elegist, E.J. Thribb.
