Well, I agree with you Keith, though given my age I'm bound to prefer the original over the rewrite. Isn't that the definition on 'old fart'?

But we did get a nice reading of the whole of the original from Pete. And if it hadn't been for him, the poem would likely have disappeared from public view, I'm afraid.

(I do happen to have a copy of Idris Davies' poetry on my shelves _somewhere_, but I only bought it after hearing Pete do the song, and I'm damned if I can put my hand on it at the moment.)
