I suppose Jimmy Savile might be a can of worms.

A spotted dick inside a can of worms. Enjoy!

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

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.

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

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.
