There has been no mention on this thread about the Musical Monologues written approximately 1900.During a Morris tour I was handed a large number of these by someone in the audience.Jim Farr (Jim the Poet) and I performed a number of this collection which included "Waifs Paradise" originally written to raise money to send children from the major cities out to the countryside.Many of the Monologues are too morbid to be of interest being late Victorian.Some however are quite amusing "The Old Castle being extremely clever.
