One of my all-time favorite comedy duets.. Oh, how I remember watching them on a Sunday afternoon...many, many moons ago.

How many times have they rehearsed 
Abbott and Costello- "Who's on First" 
Most all the players- they've talked about 
Except for me, because I played...left, out

Ha ha… I’d forgotten Abbot and Costello, yes they did show in the UK. Used to tune in daily in the erm…. YIKES… seventies (I don’t want to give credence to the notion that it may have been the sixties!). Fun times, Charlie

Wow, a blast from the past, they don't make comedy like that anymore. Tom

Hey Charles. This is a good chuckle. It is a brief poem with a subtle, humorous message. The bench was always a good place to keep warm. Zim
