RANDOM THOUGHTS ON PETER COOK

60's yeah
He used to wear
Italian suits
And Chelsea Boots
Beyond the Fringing
E L Wistying
Not Only But Alsoing
Bernard Bradening
Perfect genting
Establishmenting
Lenny Brucing
Putting the boot in
Satirising
Private Eying
Elegant & slim & thinning
Like a glass of Gordon's ginning
Bet he got an awful lot of what we might call nookie.
Who did?
Cookie

70's
A touch of wizz
Bedazzling
& Eamonn Andrewsing
Zza Zza Gaboring
Never Boring
Obviously
Dudley Mooring
Twisting jiving
Still surviving
Fridge behinding
In Amercing
Clive & Dereking
Has us roaring
Then some moring
Till our sides
Were sore and soaring
Sorer than some school-kid
Who got whipped for playing hookey
Who did?
Cookie

80's/90's
Years of bliss
With wife and kids
And cannabis
And getting pissed
What's wrong with this?
The choice was his
Smoking
Joking
And imbibing
Stephen Frying
Anderson Cliving
He was fucking fab
And trying
Now in Hampstead grave
He's lying
No denying
This is filthy rotten swizz
He's missed and missed and missed and missed
By me
By you
And others too
Like barman
Broad
And bookie
Who is?
Cookie
