May 31st

This time last week, we were kings of the world
This time last week, we were wisdom from pearls
This time last week, we were untouchable
This time last week, we were cooler than cool
The brains of Britain, the winners that night
Most knowledgeable in Newport, Isle of Wight
We held our nerve and heads up high
Answering questions on celebs and Pi
We knew some and guessed at some
Relying heavily on Phil & Mum
And even when controversy was in its prime
I was in the right place at the right time
If I hadn’t stood next to the quizmaster
The night might have been a total disaster
With good humour we went along
We got one right and they marked it wrong
I jokingly suggested that this was the case
He said that would have put you in first place
I couldn’t believe it; I’ve never won a thing
Suddenly ‘Winner’ had a nice ring
I’d never really thought of it before
But from now on I’m keeping score
I may not be fit or the best at physical
But that night we were kings of quizzical
It’s a night out that never fails to please
A hybrid, a quiz night and a Chinese
