There’s not a Shakespeare sonnet
Or a Beethoven quartet
That’s easier to like than you
Or harder to forget.
You think that sounds extravagant?
I haven’t finished yet –
I like you more than I would like
To have a cigarette.
– Wendy Cope

What is the name of the book from where this poem is? I’m making a report for school and I need the title of a book and who published it.
I love the intimate feel to this. And the laughter I got out of it also.
