Excellent Poem Mucca.....
Anyone for a Samson Stripper!!!!!
We can but try ............... it might take a while
But here's a quick-un schoolboy style;
SAMSONSamson, or just Sammy to his mates
Worked in the Beamshaw on 108s.
A proper grafter, a real big hitter
Reared on dripping and Barnsley Bitter.
He’d worked hard and earned a mint
Filling off a double stint
Until the coming of that day
When Scargill accepted P.L.A
Seen by Sammy as pretty short shrift
His wages dropped to four pound a shift
From fifteen quid, his world was shattered
Earning money was all that mattered.
His terrace mortgage and Cortina loan
Ensured his boozing days were blown
So Sammy put on his thinking cap
To find a means to escape this trap.
He thought and thunked a good bit more
All means of earning he did explore
But then it came as in a flash
An easy way to make some cash
He’d heard the tales
Of Chippendales
A team of lads with bare faced cheek
Who made a thousand every week
Dropping their kecks in front of girlies
But not quite down to their short and curlies
Five minute prance under poor stage lights
In Working Men’s Clubs on ladies’ nights
He’d tried it once on stage in the Stute
And the older ladies thought him cute
But the committee came down a little hard
And for twenty weeks poor Sammy was barred.
Undeterred he decided on giving it a go
He really needed that extra dough.
So when needs must and times are rough
He earned a mint exposing his buff
Almost legendary at Spinster Doos
And twice appeared on Calendar news
From unknown collier and hairy ripper
To international fame as
Samson Stripper.
(still Sammy to his mates though)
