A tale for eight – with knives , forks and plates.
Spike Milligan sat in seat No1
(he’ll have them rolling in the aisles before service has begun)
Groucho Marx in Seat No 2
(His madcap style wont leave his guests blue)
Salvador Dali in Seat No 3
(Painting pictures of guests before he has tea)
Jasper Fforde in Seat No 4
(Telling ‘New’ Nursery Tales you’ve not heard before)
Tommy Cooper in Seat No 5
(making your chuckle-muscle jitter and jive)
Next to John Cleese in Seat No 6
(A Python comedian – adds perfect to the mix)
L.S. Lowry takes up Seat No 7
(His paintings still hang up in Salford – Not Devon)
And Finally Pratchett – Dear Terry takes 8
(A Writer of Fantasy – That is really great)
They’ll all entertain with their rythum prose and rhyme
and Salvador will conjure a picture if there’s time.
