But not, as it turns out, about Princess Di. I realise Americans will be all at sea here, but there is enough internal evidence, I hope, to make the ditty work even for them. Pictures of S. Broad may be found on the internet. The man who would not kick him out of bed is the dishevelled Speccie journalist, Rod Liddle.
Against the Grain
We Ladies all with one accord
Combine in praise of Stuart Broad.
And there are men, it must be said,
Who would not kick him out of bed.
So tall, so blonde, with skin so fair
A baby’s bottom shows more hair,
And eyes of such cerulean
You’d drown yourself in either one.
And yet. And yet I do confess
There’s scarce a man I fancy less.
Such lack of music in the squeals
Of those re-iterant appeals,
So petulant the red-lipped mouth
When the appeals are going south.
Matt Prior’s the man I long to date.
God bless his beard and balding pate.
