Spike Milligan Comments

Spike is a genius. His poems for kids are magic

We all need a little twaddle to make the world a better place RIP Spike. you are featured in 'Remember' Book by Roger Reapple.

Take Nelson off his column and put Spike in his place. A national treasure and world leader in comedy and poetry.Moreover a totally delightful man

Hi Sam the man, I'd love to know where you heard that about Spike and what book it apparently appeared in. His daughter has told me there is no reference to it in his books. As pauline says (thanks) I wrote this poem back in 1991.

He told us he was ill! .

Spike the funniest man that ever lived! ! !

The poem smiling is infectious was written by an unknown author years before the claims of some, Spike Milligan liked it so much he put it in one of his books.

I like poems but my favourite one is the ning nang nong it is a tongue twister

Spike Milligan can my pee pee!

poooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

My partner says she composed this poem about 1982/83 and sent it with other poems to a publishing house in Preston after seeing an advert in Liverpool Echo. They sent them back saying send a postal order for a sum of money which my partner could not afford at the time. She the other poems except the one that is being attributed to other authors. Can anyone advise how she pursue this further

Very mysterious about the author of Smile. I've had it as a document on my computer since 1994, so it was definitely written before then. Whoever was the author, it's a great poem.

I have seen the smiling poem, I shall hunt for the link for you, does any one remember a song about " you need to keep your socks on to stop your feet from fraying at the end" Cheers

This poem was not written by this poet. I know because I wrote it in 2004. I don't see it in his poetry list. I call it " Infectious Smiles" . (Posted by " Good Thinking" on May 3rd,2019, under Spike Milligan's name.)

my nan is dead pls help

Where is the poem India India

My favourite Spike poem was: There was a young man from Darjeeling Who got on a bus bound for Ealing A sign on the door Said 'Don't spit on the floor' So he layid back and spat on the ceiling. It appears in one of his books (not certain if he wrote it)

I suspect that the so-called Spike Milligan poem called ‘Smiling’ that gets widely circulated on social media is nothing of the kind. It doesn’t feel Milliganesque at all.

someone kind sent me Spike Milligan`s poem on Smiling Smiling is infectious ou catch it like the flu when someone smiled at me today I started smiling too I walked around the corner and someone saw me grin When he smiled I realized I has passed it on to him I tought about the smile and then realised its worth A single smile like mine Could travel round the earth So if you feel a smile begin Don`t leave it undetected Start an epidemic And get the world infected.

This poem was commented on in Facebook but I had never heard of it.
