HEATHCLIFF

When Sir Cliff reached the acting heights

as Heathcliff to his fans' delights

the Yorkshire press ignored the illusion

knowing the Christians' heir apparent

was simply beefing up the transparent,

and though Emily spun within her grave

Sir Cliff,  knowing how to behave,

likewise the reviewers forgave,

creating still more confusion.

I wouldn't bloody forgive him! One of my favourite books of all time is that, and he is the last person anyone with any sense would put in the role of Heathcliff!
