437 - Tea and poetry

Sam and Dave you all know as sixties soul
Superstars, but there's another of them
This Sam's a lady and this Dave's not. Stroll
Into a poetry night in Rotherham
Or Huddersfield or Oswaldtwistle, an'
The chances are they may be there, with me
Tonight, f'rinstance, we chanced to be in Man-
chester, at the Green Room, and poetry
With a war theme was served up with coffee
And choccy cake. Make no mistake, the whole
Night was a good 'un. Suddenly, 'leven
O' clock (how suitably northern!) came. Ee,
'Twas time for uz to buzz off 'ome. 'Put coal
On t' fire, lass, an' brew up!' said Dave to Sam
