Dickie Davies
Dickie Davies: he wants him
wants him at his funeral and she said he was
mad
nobody wants Dickie Davies but he insisted
the only voice he wanted
was Dickie Davies on the match at four
forty four as the teleprinter stuttered
in black and white the promoting score
putting Albion up. Dickie Davies said
it was a mag-nif-i-cent vict-or-y.
Strange; a Mon Poll once established
the odd fact
that more people felt Dickie Davies
was a force for the good,
than Christ.
His grandson explained it,
in a second year essay, thus:
Working class families buy their televisions
on Saturday afternoon after chips, before the
pools,
glow at the set up and horizontal hold,
and who is the first vision they see?
Dickie Davies !
Tuned in satisfaction bonding to comfort,
for when the screen fades to a dot.
