I know it was you two
what done it

the whole of Manchester University scandalized
at Bambi’s
University Challenge by your  deep
   absurdist principles
devotion to the anarchic joke

trial run
for the rewriting, sheer
bolshevik revolution
at the heart
of British comedy

saw
yourselves as the Gogo
and Didi of
Thatcher’s eighties

Viv walking through
a wall by
     way of introduction

cavorting with Fry and
Thompson and all
that Oxbridge
royalty
       being young
would

never again
be like
       this            never quite
be the same

now I know, yes I know, (everybody exactly knows)
you were the two
at the heart
        of it

you are the
           crazy two who did it

putting
     two and two
          
together

this
    girl I fancied, met at
the club for postgraduate
swearing
        this guy Rik such
an absolute scream.
