Blues Records

I've been looking for a poem by J.C.Ashby, called "Please Don't Laugh", which was published in "The Penguin Poets, The Mid Century: English Poetry 1940-1960" (1965).

I thought the book was in Dorset, but in fact I've just found it in Corfu. Here's one verse:

My mother thought the world was growing rotten,
That God would take His loved ones for His own
Perhaps that's why I sometimes feel so lonely
Playing blues records on the gramophone.
