I don't know what to make of this at all. Any ideas what Lucy has in mind?

I suppose Jimmy Savile might be a can of worms.

[Brian Allgar]

Or perhaps a spotted dick.

A spotted dick inside a can of worms. Enjoy!

[Adrian Fry]

But he wasn't spotted, was he? Not until it was too late, anyway

[Brian Allgar]

You can usually get an idea of how stimulating a competition is by the number of posts it attracts. (The LitRev "Nonsense verse" has 70).

This one has only three jokes about Jimmy Savile.

I therefore conclude that it is duff.

[Ann Drysdale]

Yeah. I started tinkering with "What a friend we have in cheeses" and then thought better of it.

[Susan d.S.]

This thread is hilarious. It reads like dialogue. Perhaps we should send it in as is.

Lucy moves in mysterious ways
Her wonders to perform;
I might as well sit this one out
In sunny Benidorm.

T refuse to believe you have ever been to Benidorm, Brian. You'll be telling me you've been to Butlin's next.
