FAMILIARITY BREEDS CONTEMPT Last year I met this certain chap,
Who came from Ince.
He got me 50s and 60s artefacts,
So, as a chap, he seemed a prince.
He'd say, come over for a coffee,
While he got out some more prints.
They were of his father and his mother.
In short, Mr and Mrs Ince.
He was courteous and helpful,
With his coffee and his mints.
I always did feel welcome,
At the Wigan house of Ince.
Suddenly, for so reason,
A rude letter came from Ince.
No more SkyTV and coffee,
As I've never seen him since! By B Howarth
