Ode to the faculty

This poem was composed and performed by professor James Owen Drife on the occasion of the Faculty’s 20th birthday celebration.

The Editor felt the Journal’s readers might like to share the experience, although nothing could compare with seeing the performance ‘live’.

When not engaged in composing and reciting poetry, professor Drife’s former day job was professor of obstetrics and gynaecology at the University of Leeds, Leeds, UK.
