NOMADMan	The wimpiest song ever? Or is it deep? (127* d)	RE: The wimpiest song ever? Or is it deep?	12 Dec 09
Well actually, The Whiffenpoof Song was a total ripoff of a Rudyard Kipling poem - "Gentlemen Rankers." No one ever claimed otherwise, as far as I know. Th Kipling poem did indeed include the the phrase "damned from here to eternity." Also, "We're poor little lambs who have lost our way / Baa baa baa," "We're little black sheep who have gone astray," etc, etc. Like much of Kipling's, poetry this had a military tone to it. Kipling wasn't known for being wimpy at all, I would say. Here Regards, John
