This I get.
“The society for literary advancement and gestation, (SLAG), announced their decision late last night to disqualify eight year old Gerald (little Milton) Bostock following the hundreds of protests and threats received after the reading of his epic poem “Thick as a Brick” on the BBC Television last Monday night.”

“Thick As A Brick (Part 1)”
Really don’t mind if you sit this one out.
My words but a whisper your deafness a SHOUT.
I may make you feel but I can’t make you think.
Your sperm’s in the gutter your love’s in the sink.
So you ride yourselves over the fields and
you make all your animal deals and
your wise men don’t know how it feels to be thick as a brick.
And the sand-castle virtues are all swept away
in the tidal destruction the moral melee.
The elastic retreat rings the close of play
as the last wave uncovers the newfangled way.
But your new shoes are worn at the heels
and your suntan does rapidly peel
and your wise men don’t know how it feels
to be thick as a brick.
And the love that I feel is so far away:
I’m a bad dream that I just had today
and you shake your head and say it’s a shame.
