When you go down to the woods today,
a fern will be in your sight.
Moist and soggy the soil must be,
a prehistoric delight.
With blades and stems it spreads its spores,
reproducing many more.
The ferns are strong, resilient and FANTASTIC.

Sticky Facts about Benjamin Zephaniah
He had dyslexia and left school unable to read or write correctly
He was friends with Nelson Mandela;
B. Zephaniah about Nelson Mandela: "When he was in prison, someone gave him some recordings of my music and some of my books and he read them and when he came out he requested to meet me in London. We had a 10-minute conversation but then he wanted me to do some work in South Africa and we became friends."
