Poets in the
Corner 

While we were sat around the set 
All watching ITV
Greg Dyke said from his lofty perch 
That we must let it be. 

 

Although I was but just a lad 
Born in the year of 68 
I quickly knew what I would like
My 4pm Saturday date. 

 

With Kent sitting by the ring 
With cigarettes in his hands 
I longed to hear his dulcet tones 
Say  "Greetings, grappling fans" 

 

I grew up with Mick and Steve 
And The Royal Brothers too 
Stevie Grey and Johnny Saint 
To name but a few. 

 

The Mighty Stax and Bomber Pat
Finlay and Skull Murphy 
All put me in that happy place 
I really wanted to be 

 

And so I became a semi pro 
Working on the holiday camps 
I never saw my name in lights 
There were no glittering lamps

 

But the one thing I would love to say 
Whilst turning the other cheek 
Is for all of you to have a good 
Week until next week
