Would you like to be poet laureate?
Curiously, when I went into the BBC's picture system and typed "Andrew Motion" - this chap was the first photo in the list. It's not Andrew Motion.
The reason we're mentioning Mr Motion is that, as The Guardian reports, his decade as poet laureate is coming to an end. He has some advice for the new person in the linked article.
But I was wondering - if you have a song in your heart, why not pen a few lines about why YOU should be the next poet laureate? Better still, type them. Oh hang on I've found a photo.
1610 UPDATE: Just recorded an interview about this very subject. With someone who doesn't want the job.
