I watched David Niven on Channel 81 -
David smiled his weird dazzling smile -
He played Bonnie Prince Charlie -
John Laurie played Blind Jimmy -
Charlie's tailcoat was a kingfisher blue -
Blind Jimmy crooned a lament through his tangled beard -
Sneering milords chased the always charming Prince -
A glassy tear flowed down Flora MacDonald's perfect cheek -
Late afternoon TV cast its tacky spell -
