Name
of Victor Meldrew,
"One
foot in the grave",
Very
much in character,
Richard
Wilson had it made,
The
one man senile oligarchy,
Anarchy,
He's
on the hop,
The
BBC created him,
Complete
with flat cap,
Out
to outsmart the disrespectful,
Those
that step out of line,
Sneaking
round revengeful,
Time
after time,
The
litter dropped upon his lawn,
Went
through her letter box,
The
lady with her baby,
Was
in for some shocks,
The
computer man who slighted him,
At
the traffic lights,
Got
made to do a demo pitch,
All
for nothing, at his house,
The
radioactive horse manure,
All
so sweet revenge,
Through
the allotment inspectors
Sent
him nearly round the bend,
The
neighbours tried to sell and move,
But
Victor put paid to that,
Putting
a pieced together teddy bear,
In
the bin out back,
The
toy shop taxi was delivered,
On
his own doorstep,
His
long suffering wife Margaret,
Fuming
mad, said, 'lets all hop...
In
it and go",
Anywhere
but where he is,
No
one wants to know,
Funny
old Victor Meldrew,
Say's
"I don't believe it!"
His
catch phrase in his character,
Makes
his flat cap nicely fit,
Better
Wear it Mr Meldrew,
Because
it sure suits you,
As
the Senile Oligarchy Anarchy
One
man band in you rings true
What
will you do next,
To
wreak, Sweet revenge,
Putting
all the world to rights,
With
another victim to avenge,
Who
can believe it,
Not
Victor Meldrew,
He
is the original one man,
Senile
Oligarchy Anarchy, so dead pan.

I
just adore watching "One Foot in
the Grave" and the characters in
it, and flat caps off to Richard Wilson
as Victor Meldrew and Annette Crosby
as his long suffering wife Margaret
Meldrew. I howl laughing right through
their episodes, and so I wanted to write
a poem dedicated to their superb and
second to none acting and to all of
those, who like myself, are fans of
this programme and its wonderful actors.
Note:
My work is very inspired by John Cooper
-Clarke, (JCC) a contemporary poet laureate
from northern England. UK.
JCC
is usually hyper when he performs live
on stage reciting his very astounding
poems, and so he recites them without
even a break to catch his breath, hence
they are written and recited without
line breaks, this is the style of his
impact, based upon the subject content.
My
work is styled on that of JCC, hence
my work is not broken by line breaks
either!
