Adrian Mole Quotes

“*Daffodils by A. Mole

While on my settee I lie
From out of the corner of my eye
I spot a clump of Yellow Daffodils,
Bowing and shaking as a lorry goes by.
Brave green stalks supporting yellow bonnets.
Like the wife of a man who writes Love Sonnets.”
― Sue Townsend, Adrian Mole: The Collected Poems

“*Mrs Thatcher by A. Mole

Do you weep, Mrs Thatcher, do you weep?
Do you wake, Mrs Thatcher, in your sleep?
Do you weep like a sad willow?
On your Marks and Spencer’s pillow?
Are your tears molten steel?
Do you weep?
Do you wake with ‘Three million’ on your brain?
Are you sorry that they’ll never work again?
When you’re dressing in your blue, do you see the waiting queue?
Do you weep, Mrs Thatcher, do you weep?

**I think my poem is extremely brilliant. It is the sort of poem that could bring the government to its knees.”
― Sue Townsend, Adrian Mole: The Collected Poems
