The Singer With The Thick Welch Accent

The singer with the thick Welch accent
Answered the radio interviewer's questions
Strightforwardly,
Matter-of-factly,
Succinctly,
With morsels of tidbits,
Inside information,
Background notes,
As thick as his voice,
A rich baritone,
Who belted out pop hits
During the raucous sixties,
Manly-man songs,
About old-fashioned masculine conquests,
Honorable against a more conservative
Set of standards,
Still courteous, full of etiquette,
Victorian bashfulness bridling back
The passion just bursting to overflow,
The songs athletically arranged,
On a compilation, a greatest hits boxed set,
Including four bonus tracks,
Previously unreleased.

And in-between the tracks,
The singer with the thick Welch accent
Answered the radio interviewer's questions.
