Hello Geoff
Doggerel? Well, I'd known it for ever. Old Woman Tossed Up In A Blanket is a nursery rhyme, innit? Barry sings it to the tune of Lily/Lilli/Lili whatever. I suppose you'd better ask Ashley why he thought it was a good idea. Good grief, are we going to have peeps questioning Who's The Fool Now? because it's doggerel? Yeah, it is but . . . so what? Most of what is written here is equally so . . .
