You know the guy, he's in that thing,
He played the cop who shot the man,
The one who stole the diamond ring,
You know the guy I mean.
He's in that film, what is it called?
His doctor thinks he's going bald,
That one from telly's in it too,
You know the guy I mean.
He writes a book that doesn't sell,
He knows a thing he cannot tell,
He tracks it by its funny smell,
You know the guy I mean.
No, listen, he's that one from Flash,
Or was it Crump? or Bang? or Smash?
We used to watch it all the time,
You know the guy I mean.
He had a car, he drove it fast,
His luck ran out, it couldn't last,
He found himself in his own past,
You know the guy I mean.

Enjoyed this, Constance. Made me chuckle.
I think I know the guy. What's his name?

I know who you mean.
Very entertaining Constance.

Constance, very good. This did make me chuckle because my wife would accuse you of writing about me (you're not, are you?).
I say it all the time; "What's he been in? She's been in something?"
My wife used to say, "Shutup, will you? He's been in loads of things."
Now she just answers Coronation Street, which I don't watch, so I've no idea if she's telling the truth or not.

This is really good, Constance. Like a race car fleeing emotional waves of hunky-memories. Richard ps are you the Constance referred to in the place where one marks the responses required from Readers, or Constance?

haha, Very original. Good job!

I'd like to know if you are she too? Now we have to figure out who you are- you know who I mean? The one who comments a lot? Ah Constance- is that you?

This poem's been up for 8 months yet none of us have seen it before.
I'm encouraging Constance to write more ..... QUICKLY!

Why has Constance decided to ostracise me?
;D
