They need, it would seem, some retraining

So it's farewell to Lionel Blair

His craft of the mime

Was just as sublime

Me too; here's mine

Now let us begin
Raak
And headlong dive in

Which is my favourite key
Rosie
Especially in Phrygian mode.
Two goes. I dunno - pushy bugger
Raak
Let's go for a brisk, bracing walk!
Simons Mith
To the base of that towering stalk
Rosie
The Shard, what a blight
Stevie
Thrust into the night
Radox The Green
Like those mushrooms that grow in the dark.
Stevie
Hidden text
At Radox’s rhyme I must baulk!
Rosie
I'm reminded of an asylum
Chalky
Lock 'em up - name 'em and file 'em
Raak
Have a strong padded cell
Stevie
Some laud'num as well
