Ee, Marriott Edgar!
Is his stuff still done in folk clubs like it used to be in the 60s?

Some absolute classics.
King John signing Magna Carta

'His writing in places was sticky and thick,
Through dipping his pen in the jam.'

Albert and the lion.

'At this mother were proper angry.
What spend all our lives rearing children, she said,
to feed ruddy lions, not me!'

Battle of Hastings

'And after the battle were over,
There were 'Arold so stately and grand,
Sittin' there with 'is eye full ,of arrer,
On 'is 'orse with 'is 'awk in 'is 'and.'

Best thing that cum out o' lankysheer.

A Tyke.
