Mysha-

It is confusing to scroll through the versions of this song in this thread. However, the original poem is presented in the first post.

But I think your general criticisms have merit and I'll certainly consider them in the next revision of this song. With a little more help we might even make a "folk song" of it!

Weelittledrummer-

I'd be delighted to hear what you come up with. Do consider sending a MP3 file as an attachment if you can manage that; dumb it down so the file isn't too large. My e-mail address should be available from my website.

Cheerily,
Charley Noble
