In the week the box office opened on Sir Cliff's Heathcliff...
Wuthering Heist
Scrawny and sallow as watered-down soy,
Sprightly he flounders, the principal Koi.
Fans paralysed in a rictus of joy
Heathcliff. Sir Heathcliff.
Oh Cathy. Oh Boy.
Cynics may grumble but let's persevere,
Prancing around in our fifty-third year.
Hey Kids! Why don't we just do the show here?
Heathcliff. Sir Heathcliff.
Oh Cathy. Oh dear.
Hereby give notice of book sacrificed.
Bronte Society. This is a heist.
Slip in a song and they may be enticed.
Heathcliff. Sir Heathcliff.
Oh Cathy. Oh Christ.
Ghostly and mostly, it's heard on the moor.
Starts in a whine and ends up as a roar.
Hey there's a red London bus at the door.
Cathy? No Una.
We met once before.
Pop Kids today must be thick as a plank.
Sing "Living Doll" and their faces go blank.
Bachelor Boys do it crying to the bank.
Heathcliff, Sir ET
Call home or call Hank.
