Adam West,

caped crusader, – in peace may you rest.

We need a dynamic duo to rescue us right now,

for our present leaders…… Holy cow!

John Noakes,

you were one of those blokes

who could work with children AND animals; whose renown

was immortalised by your catchphrase: ‘Shep, get down!‘

Sir Roger Moore,

I am very sure

that for suavity, you will always be held an exemplar –

especially in the role of Simon Templar.

Jeremy Corbyn,

you could have knocked me down with a teazle

when in today’s press I mistook you for Catweazle.

Stephen Fry,

remember that one day, we are all going to die.

Don’t get carried away by lofty quiz-master behaviour.

On Judgement Day, you won’t be interrogating your Lord and Saviour.

‘Dragons’ Den’

Gone Missing

 

Weird!

I posted this image of Samuel Beckett on my site last year.

It had quite a lot of ‘likes.’  I can prove it is my work as I

have the original painting.

Today I have been trawling through my site to find it

and it has disappeared.  I wanted to show it to someone after

a photography programme on television last week mentioned

my friend, Jane Bown, who took the original photo, on which

I based my painting.

What’s going on, guys?  It feels like it could be the subject of a

work of literature.

If anyone else can find it on my site, please let me know!

Marion Kelly,

you’re quite at home on the telly.

For one of such a tender age,

you seem to relish centre stage.

Professor Robert E Kelly,

I bet you never thought- not on your nelly!-

that your kids would interrupt your interview

and that I would turn it into a clerihew!

Finn Russell,

never heed the English muscle.

Shadow Ford at Twickenham ‘the morra.’

Can thirty four years of history be reversed? ‘Nae borra!’
