Should this thread really be in "Lyrics"? Well, stretching a point; I read somewhere, years ago, that Queen Victoria in a private meeting with a Police Chief opined that the murders must surely have been committed by a foreigner - a sailor, perhaps - because "no Englishman could have done 'em in, sirrah". A few days later, the Police received a poem, beginning,

"I ain't a Turk, I ain't a Jew,
I ain't a foreign skipper..."

Coincidence? Or was Prince Albert Victor/Duke of Clarence earwigging at the door? Or is this another red herring?
