Introduction (Between a Yak and a Hard Plaice)

Well, ladies and gentlemen
Welcome back to the second A F Harrold's Half Hour compact disc
Er which you now hold in your hand
Obviously, don't actually hold the disc in your hands otherwise you wouldn't be hearing this bit
But you might be holding the case, which would be nice to think that you're looking at it while you're listening
Er or maybe if you're driving put the case down right now 'cos that could result in an accident.
Um, the plan of the thing, just so you know exactly what's gonna happen, is I'm going to read, um, a poem
And then a couple more poems
And eventually we all get to go home at the end.
So hopefully you're comfortable with that.
Sit back, relax, open wide, here comes the drill
And the first poem.
