Well, you would't, John. You see... no, I've said too much already.
I daresay that's the first time anyone has rhymed 'Posh and Becks' with 'pontifex'!
Ronnie and Reggie Kray
Of all the famous villains bred within this noble land,
No other thugs are quite as sorely missed.
What modern gangsters, sawing off a screaming rival’s hand,
Would subsequently shake them by the wrist?
If Ron or Reg beheaded you for welching on a debt,
They’d send your wife some flowers for support.
A smile was all but guaranteed for everyone they met
(Though coppers’ narks would get the Chelsea sort).
They shopped in Saville Row, of course, and only ever wore
The finest whistles dirty cash could buy.
They’d change their shoes if only lightly flecked with spots of gore,
And neither brooked a blood-bespattered tie.
When setting you on fire they’d follow every etiquette
And thank you for your time. God bless the Krays!
We’ll never see their like again. It’s true you used to get
A better class of criminal those days.
