A possible scenario for TV documentary lauding the charm of 'Knees'
'I think that I shall never see
A poem, lovely as a knee.
A knee whose bony structure's play
Will only let it bend one way,
A knee, which intrudes upon my thoughts
When I imagine you, in shorts.
A knee that peeps above a sock,
A knee that with its mate can knock
Except mayhap, when legs are bowed
Through riding, or too great a load;
A knee, which prompts a verse of sorts,
When I imagine you, in shorts.
In short, a knee, the like of which
Is only seen, 'neath t'other britch.
And filthy strangers stand and stare
When they perceive you have a pair - A pair - alike as dried out peas,
A pair of clean-type - British Knees.'
Music:- 'Land of Hope and Glory'**
"Insist on British Knees,
They're best in the Long Run
Look for the Colours on the Cap"
End.
