CLIFF DICK DOES GRAFFITI

Cliff Dick, teen heartthrob of yesteryear,

Clean living, cheesy-grinned rock and roll pioneer,

He’s a marvel for his age, he’s a hot Peter Pan,

You could take him home to mum, introduce him to your nan.

He leads a solitary life with his dachshund, Dennis,

Emerging once a year to revel in the tennis.

A fanatic of the game, Cliff’s a permanent fixture at the Wimbledon tournament –

(You get the picture).

Between games last year, Cliff took a moment to snatch

Some complimentary strawberries before the next match,

Then made a rather hurried exit from the cream tea tent,

With a very pressing need to make use of the gents,

And whilst addressing the issue of nature’s call,

He spied unsightly graffiti on the cubicle wall:

‘Ricky, ‘Mickey, ‘Dickie’ etc, ‘woz ere’,

The spelling was poor but the meaning was clear,

So not to be outdone he did his own, and kept it clean,

His message written large:

‘Hi fans, Cliff Dick has-been’.
