Carol Ann Duffy

[2-tone]

I'm not sure if this is the correct place to post this or if anyone can help, but I'm after a copy of a Carol Ann Duffy Poem.

My son has been asked to learn this poem over the holiday's and boys being boys he has left it at school :wallbash:.

He is not 100% sure of the title, he's only 8, but he thinks its 'The Famous'. The only thing he remembers for sure is the first line, which is:

'What do the famous have for breakfast'

I cannot find any reference to such a line or poem on the internet anyware, so I'm gathering it's not a well known poem.

because she's such a renown poet, the internet seems pretty tight when it comes to finding poetry open to read.
If anything, you should contact the school and find out, there's always at least the head teacher there to help and they should be more than willing to help.

Your local library might be a very good resource as well! We have a service here called "Infolink" - in person or on the phone - and they have helped me hunt down 'the obscure' in the past! Or they can tell you where to look... hope that helps! Loved your...:wallbash: BTW!!!!!
