though not for the purist members
of 'the coffee set' soiree
Pamela and Tony's 'Samson and Delilah'
was billed as Cabaret
managed to attract for Charity you know
an audience full-fluttering
their antennae for the show
and though most were secretly attracted
to the merest hint of sleaze
others were determindly impossible to please
and when Delilah's hidden past revealed
scant knowledge of the Scriptures
and a willingness to yield
to confusion with Salome
and all which that entails
there were too few too many
of those flimsy seven veils
but for Samson and the Philistines
the side-show hardly matters
the dramatic link was broken
the storyline's in tatters
and there were the sounds of voices
from some distant Shangri-La
extolled the power of Al Cohol
their shining evening star
