Can anyone tell me what it is?
There was a government minister on the news this morning talking about The Big Society.
It's a Very Wonderful Thing, this Big Society.
That's all anyone ever tells you.
It's very wonderful.
That's it.
It reminds me of the Hunting of the Snark, by Lewis Carroll.
An epic poem where all these random useless geezers set out to hunt a snark.
"They sought it with thimbles, they sought it with care;
They pursued it with forks and hope;
They threatened its life with a railway-share;
They charmed it with smiles and soap."
Nobody knows what The Snark looks like and nobody has ever seen it but everyone knows it's pretty damned awesome....
