"Word Games" - U A Fanthorpe - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

I'm not really sure where else to post this - I'm desperately trying to get hold of a copy of the poem "Word Games" by UA Fanthorpe for a reading at my grandfather's funeral (on wednesday). I've ordered a copy of "Neck Verse" (which contains it) from Amazon a few days back but it doesn't look like coming in time with the Christmas rush...

Is there any kind person who knows it who can point me at a copy (though I can't find one using Google) or even type it out/pm it to me? I'm sorry if this sounds dodgy but I'm really running out of ideas... thanks

I don't have much poetry, sorry. Have you tried the library? In the US, you can generally search the local libraries online, and in some areas search the entire state simultaneously.

I couldn't find that title; perhaps that's not the name?

Maybe this will help?
