Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Dooley Is a Traitor (James Michie)
"Dooley is a Traitor" was a poem written by James Michie who was himself a conscientious objector.

I heard it being recited many times in London pubs and poetry recitals around that city in the late 60's and 70's.
I believe he came from Liverpool.
As far as I know there is no musical tune associated with this most powerful poem.
It is a brilliant piece.
