I had no knowledge of either Spike Milligan or the Aberfan disaster before your reading of this poem but I looked up both. Milligan seems to be a very talented man and what a horrific tragedy.
I would highly recommend The Goon Show if you enjoy audio comedies and Milligan's War Memoirs are fantastic also. The tragedy is terribly sad and as I mentioned the book I read last year really puts you there in time and place.
