Great thread you sarted here bbc.

Bob, was "He's my dog" as recent as the 80s? I heard it recited a couple of times, but can't recall who by. Great to see the words - a wondeerful poem!

Do you remember an Australian magazine of the 40/50s - "Outback" was the name I think? It had a comic strip about a wombat and his mates, and poems. My gandmother had an Aussie "handyman", Bob, on her 5 acre "farm", who had them posted to him. As a kid, I used to plow my way through a year's supply (cartoons first) as soon as I arrived for the Xmas hol's. Ahh the memories...
