Oh Stephen Fry, Stephen Fry,
best thing by far about QI.
Even worth the dampening pain
of queuing for three hours in the rain.
Bill Bailey was funny, it is true,
but nothing can compare with you.
The floppy hair! One man think tank!
The way you said 'soapy tit wank'!
You set my foolish heart aflutter
with every rude word you did utter.
Your ejaculatory 'fuck me'!
Left me moist from waist to knee.
All contestants put to heel
before your loquacious sex appeal.
And oh, your shorts, those gleaming thighs!
I could not tear away my eyes.
I have loved you since time began,
I am your biggest, bestest fan!
I'm honestly not at all unstable;
won't you give me a hand of Scrabble?
He was beshorted? No way.

The theme was 'exploring', and both he and the contestants were in proper 1930s jungle wear, including pith helmets and what looked to my feverish little heart like miniature leather floggers.
And I think you'll find, Mr Larkin, that 'unstable' and 'Scrabble' rhyme perfectly well if you read the verse in the standard issue, academically-approved proper poetry reading accent of hybrid Sri Lankan / Welsh.

I'm sure there's potential for a disgustingly filthy innuendo at this point, but as you know I am above such things. I shall leave such dubious comments to someone else.

There was no need for you to sit on me quite so heavily to stop me from volunteering, you know.

posted by An Unreliable Witness | 15 May 2007My longing for Daphne Oxenford no longer seems so strange. Thank you.

posted by andre | 15 May 2007you might be pleased to hear that Stephen did a recording of I'm Sorry I Haven't a Clue the other day, that will make it to radio in a little while.
