Nice one, Sinsull!

And, Keith, thanks for reminding me of "Stanley The Rat"; it certainly belongs in this collection.

I'm now laborously typing out the verses to "The Fate of the Royal Tar", the saga of the circus steamer that burnt and sank. It's all terribly long, totally unsingable, BUT it's got all them animals in it, few of which survive.

Cheerily,
