Tonight’s Viewing

1 Leave a comment on verse 1 0 At seven o’clock, there’s some do-it-yourself,
To tell you how safely to put up a shelf
That will not collapse when you pile on the delph,
And also some tips about skylights.

2 Leave a comment on verse 2 0 Then there’s an hour-long seventies review,
With old Alvin Stardust and “My Coo-ca-choo,”
Marc Bolan and Donny, the Glitter Band too,
And some sweet mellow soul from The Chilites.

3 Leave a comment on verse 3 0 There’s painting on later, just Rolf and his easel
To sketch us a tree that looks more like a weasel.
And then when we’re fired up and sucking that diesel,
He’ll paint us some daybreaks and twilights.

4 Leave a comment on verse 4 0 To round off the evening, there’s plenty of smiles
When “Haircuts” is shown from The Dave Beckham Files.
The blurb says they cannot show all of his styles,
But they promise us extensive highlights.
