April 16th
Born on this day, Peter Ustinov
Was very adept at the boostin’ of
Droll anecdotes
And quaint quips and quotes
Which he kept a big “For Later Use” tin of.
✐✐ ✎✎
Wear Your Pyjamas to Work Day’s quite normal
In places of toil where the dress code’s informal
But if your employment is in the Bahamas,
Turn up in shorts instead of pyjamas.
