Eight: drainer full of empties
Some idiot left R3 on upstairs
We seem like passing strangers now
Who did put the bop in the bop
Do wop do wop?
August belongs to Brian Blessed
For colonials who do not know
Bank
He played Jupiter in Cats
T S Eliot wrote Old Possums book of Cats
Made money out of it
That snivelling little creep Andrew Lloyd’s
Bank made money
Virge produces geneology
Enjoy your holy days

Brian Blessed played “Fancy” Smith in Z Cars. My nan told me that on her deathbed. It’s what Brian would have wanted.

When i were a mere whipper=snapper and we first got a b&w telly my heroes were Bugs Bunny and…wait for it…Fancy Smith. Amazing or Wow? If the Missus had not poisoned him he would have sorted out Caligula – d’ya reckon?

We couldn’t afford a telly. My dad used to put on “black face” and then sing a medley of hits from Showboat with his head framed by the serving hatch.
