Ian McMillan I was invited to join the mythical creature’s orchestra. I play the Unicornet

They sat there
Watching t’Northern leets
From their rickety
Northern seats
And Doreen said
From under her hat,
Pointing at the shifting show,
‘Our Freddie had a shirt like that.
That was in his hippy phase’
And they remembered in the glow
Of the dancing rays.

Right, time to get some more work done on my Yorkshire Dialect version of The Marriage of Figaro for Bradford Opera Festival before the alphabet melts. To the keyboard!

When I got the contract for that opera about wild animals in disguise I had to sing on the dotted lion.
