Very enjoyable piece with a large dose of nostalgia Greg. It reminds that in 1976 in a 90 degrees working man's club I witnessed Mike Reid(the comic) doing all those little voice impressions, going out on a limb I thought!

Thanks for your comments, Uilleam and Steve, and for the Like, Holden. For those baffled by the subject matter, Bill and Ben were two puppet characters in a children's TV programme in the 1950s. As Steve will know, this poem is included in my 2021 collection 'Marples Must Go!'

Those Bills and Bens,
familiar faces in my local over the years, known for their penchant for exotic substances.😎

Fascinating, Greg. It reminds me of Jasper Carrot complaining about the programme which replaced the Magic Roundabout. 'It's for kids, isn't it?'
