The Young Ones are
not quite so young.
Alternative?
Not quite as much.

Blackadder has
gone over the top,
the Thin Blue Line
gone out for lunch.

We Will Rock You
has left the building,
and growing older
means losing touch.

But when all is said
the show is over,
motormouth Elton
still packs a punch.

A busy day has been perfectly capped with an evening out watching Ben Elton. Nostalgic, certainly. Generational, sure. But something to say? Definitely.
