Subject: RE: Folklore: Jokes I stole
I wrote a song about a dog who came to a nasty end through drinking!
But he was sent back from "Doggie" Heaven to retrieve his tail he'd left jammed in the pub door.
It was way past "Stop Tap" when he got back to the pub and he howled until he got the landlord out of bed.
When the dog (called Boozo) asked for his tail.
This was the reply: "Don't you know that it is against the law to retail spirits after time?"
The inspiration?? for the song came from the nursery rhyme "Old Mother Hubbard" and from an old Cornish Folk Song!
