It shouldn't have been difficult for anyone with an interest in words to figure out my original posting. Do yourselves a favour and read it again - properly, remembering that a) I refer to Jimmy Newman as a great song, and my final sentence is clearly saying that the inclusion of that " marvellous rear" line was a breakthrough in the use of lyrics. Let's face it, I don't think Pete Seeger (great as he is could have come up with that line! ) And , finally( maybe ), I would like to call to my defence one Tom Paxton. It was he who said that one must remember that the writer is creating a song, and the contents of the song may or may not reflect the writers true feelings. It wasn't Tom who was admiring the nurse's rear but a wounded soldier. For all we know Tom might not like butts!
