---And if Noel Coward wrote Eskimo Nell, I'll eat my hat.--- Schantieman Sep 08 >>>>>

Oh, I don't know. Think of the verse about poor old Deadwood Dick having to make do with 'a moose or two, or a caribou, A bison cow or a crow; But Deadwood Dick was king of the prick, & he found it fucking slow'; and think also of the bit in Coward's "Mad Dogs & Englishmen" - 'Even caribous lie around and snooze, For there's nothing else to do' ~~~ the similarity of the intro in each case of the unlikely 'caribou' to provide a rhyme, linked to the concept of immediate complete boredom, strike me as at least stylistically suggestive of a Noel Coward connection. Anyone agree?
