The Cockney ham actor, Rhyming-Slang Saul,
saw clothes, in a whirlwind, fly over his wall.
These togs made for ladies would lead him to fame;
they’d fashion a legendary pantomime dame.

First, a waist-tightening Hampshire and Dorset
gifted Saul svelteness, then to reinforce it,
some silk Alan Whickers fell out of the sky.
Saul’s manly Sol Grundys? He bid them goodbye!

An Elliot Ness came next - red, polka-dotted;
it dropped in his lap, and Saul was besotted.
The prospect of playing not laddies but lasses
would soon be his forte, amusing the masses.

The last girly items, two codfish and kippers,
fluffy, size twelve (drawing laughter from nippers),
alit at Saul’s feet, and though they weren’t swanky,
they helped make Saul history’s best-known Widow Twankey.
