The Funeral of Mr Punch
Dog Toby howls at the final curtain.
An era has passed, that much is certain.
Judy is prostrate in despair.
Punch was old and beyond repair.
Columbine is out of work, and so is Harlequin.
The puppet master is too old - there's nothing coming in.
Even with a brand new Punch, to be had at little cost,
The puppets would not suit TV - and ratings would be lost!
