It’s that time of year again! When a new blog tradition is launched that has about as much longevity as Stephen Fry swearing off Twitter for life! And where the exclamation mark is deployed rather too enthusiastically!

Welcome to the inaugural I-Can’t-Believe-It’s-Not-Paul-Durcan! When you, dear reader, are invited to commission an original Paul Durcan poem that Paul Durcan didn’t actually write!

Not Paul Durcan

Vote early, and vote often! The winning composition will be published on the Feast of the Blessed Patrick. Begorrah.
