Moderately gentle this week I thought. The poem takes me back many decades, as my father was fond of making mildly smutty versions of it.

Which are the 2 place names?

Place names are 3 and 37

Prosecutor up to fitting cubic blocks (7) D?D?I??


Lighting company producing huge warship (5) ??RA?

Thanks in advance

My grid is filled. The rubric says "Solvers must shade the appropriate unclued light". There are seven unclued lights (incl. 9D), but it is unclear to me which of them is the appropriate one (and why).

Helveticus, I'm away from my copy. I highlighted the unclued word that is in the title of the poem itself.

Gawdelpus, Dadoing and Osram.

Malone, the accepted convention for a prize puzzle is NOT to provide solutions but hints towards them.

BuzzyBee, you're mistaken.

I try - normally - to give hints for thematic puzzles, but failed to come up with anything.

The point is not that it is thematic but that there is a prize on offer. I would have tried:

16a. Usual two-letter initials for a prosecutor, five letter word for "up to" as in "what are you up to?", defn last 3 words.

28a. Defn is a lighting manufacturer, two-letter initials for a word meaning "huge" followed by a three-letter word for an old type of warship.
