Maunders
IX In the Casino Ballroom, The judges disagree —Some leading local ladies:
Dai Evans: a JP—
On picking Miss Glamorgan (West) 1963.
'No, Mr Wynne—on poise, now, Miss Clydach just won't do; And as for, well, her figure, It's too . . . too much on view. Your vote, please, Mr Evans,' Smiles Mrs Town Clerk Pugh.
Dai's seen in Clydach's hip-swing, Rich bosom and mean face, Two threats : his own destruction By passion's fell embrace, Or else (a bit more likely) Not getting to first base; Whereas Pugh's time of danger Belongs to yesterday, When choice was more than hedging, Reluctance than delay.
—Dai votes against Miss Clydach, Then waits his chance to say: `This show's for youngsters, really. The dance'll soon begin, So why don't you and I, love, Pop up the Newlands Inn, And strengthen our acquaintance Over a spot of gin?'
