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.
