The
Magic of Four Thousand
On
Members’ Night Ko-ko will stay
As
quiet as a mouse and
Reflect
that loafing doesn’t pay,
And
keep his fingers crossed and pray
That
nobody will tell Grace A -
We
might have had 4000.
Still
haunted by his conscience, he
Will
creep out of his house and
Slip
though the entrance guiltily,
Smile
wanly at the Committee,
And
wonder how to face John B -
We
might have had 4000.
The
regulars and helpers too
Will
moan and groan and grouse and
All
ask each other, “Was it you?”,
(Not
knowing it was Ko-ko who,
Torpedoed
Sandy C’s debut) -
We might have had 4000.
“Ko-ko”
1988
