Shock and oar
when female rower
Ms Helen Butters
Caused lots of mutters
Plus a BIG commotion
While crossing the ocean
By stripping naked
No ... 'twasn't faked
It was real enough
She appeared in "the buff"
Televised on BBC
Live for one 'n' all to see
Putting a viewer off his coffee
But tho' some may deem it awfy
'Tis really just a simple story
She appearing in all her glory
Simply had been a valiant try
So as to get her wet togs dry!

BBC later apologised to viewers ... assuring them that the clip was quickly edited.
