This is bad enough
Today is National Poetry Day, which aims to explore the relevance of verse in modern-day life. We love this poem by Elspeth Murray, which echoes our frustration at the complexity, jargon, irrelevance and clutter that litters much of communication today. Elspeth wrote the poem for the launch of the cancer information reference group SCAN (South East Scotland Cancer Network) in January 2006, which has been trying to improve the quality and speed of services for people with cancer. © Elspeth Murray.
