Gun in House

We’ve got two readings on Billy Collins’ poem “Another Reason Why I Don’t Keep a Gun in the House”. Both of them are by actor Jamie Renell.

In this great poem, an attempt to drown out the neighbor’s barking dog with a Beethoven symphony has hilarious results. These are great readings that convey two totally different attitudes. There’s a pull-down menu where you can pick the Angry Neighbor or the Resigned Rabbi reading.

Jamie also did a fantastic reading of Charge of the Light Brigade. It’s my favorite Light Brigade.

How do you get the poems to play? I tried listening and chose “Angry Neighbor” and nothing happened? :(

maybe you didn’t wait long enough for it to load - you just use the pull down menu and click on the version you want to hear - when the arrow turns black it’s fully loaded and you press play.
