Subject: RE: Dainty Davey: What's a curly pow?
Hercules the bear died yesterday.

Why does this matter to the current thread?

Hercules was a pet bear kept in Scotland by wrestler Andy Robbins. He once escaped, and made his way to Uist in the Hebrides, before being recaptured.

This escape was 'recorded' in a song by Scots folk duo Gaberlunzie.

The chorus ends

"You never will be poor
In your cage in Sherrifmuir
So good fortune shine upon your curly pow"
