So, farewell then, Victoria Wood

Let's do it,
let's do it,
do it even though it's naff.
Her jokes
of bald old blokes
and grannies always made us laugh.
So witty
yet gritty.
Dedicate a statue in the comedy city.
Let's do it,
let's do it tonight.

I can't do it,
can't do it,
can't compose a solemn ode.
Find the humour
in loss and tumour,
never let the grief take hold.
Let's be silly,
sing about a willy.
Dedicate a statue in Piccadilly.
Let's do it,
let's do it tonight.

In memoriam Victoria Wood CBE (19 May 1953 – 20 April 2016)
