And Daniel lay with the mais and came across her. Daniel woke and inquired of the mais "What time is it ?" : and the mais replied "It is five bells on the forenoon watch".   "Fuck me" said Danile, "I've done it again".

And Daniel did go unto the dockyard gates of the dockyards of Chatham and Portsmouth. And did the killick of the working party inquired of him "Daniel, where hast thou been?".

And Daniel did reply "Verily, I have been fucking".

And the killick of the working party did say "If thou hast been fucking Verily, produce thine organ".

And Daniel drew from his britches a dick the pride of the Navy, the sight of which caused the mainbrace to be spliced, a great cheer to rise from the assembled ships and a rally on the bosun's pipe.

"Squeeze, Daniel, squeeze" quoth the killick of the working party.

So he squeezed and he squoze and a bubble arose.

"Daniel" quoth the killick of the working party "Thou has contracted a disease, no ordinary disease but a social disease. Therefore must thou sojourne in the desert for forty days and forty nights".

And so it came to pass that Daniel did unto the desert go. And there he was set upon by bandits, no ordinary banditd, but arse bandits who scragged him, debagged him and shagged him, and sent him on his way rejoicing, with his pockets jingling and his arsehole tingling.

I found out last night through the wonder of Facebook that an old friend, who I have not seen in over 20 years, passed away some time ago. His name was Ivan Selwood, and he was one of the funniest people I have ever known (and bloody infuriating into the bargain). He was a raconteur of epic proportions, an utterly larger-than-life figure, and his songs and recitations were the stuff of legend in the ex-pat pubs round Hollywood. He was from England originally, and apparently returned here to live about 15 years ago. In the unlikely event that any Mudcatters ever came across him (in the Luton area, possibly), I'd love to hear from them.

I had long been looking for the source of one of his recitations, which we called The Bosun. Incredibly, when I put some of the words I could remember into google last night after learning of his death, it led me straight to Mudcat (what are the chances of that happening, eh?) and this thread, which I have noticed previously but never opened. I found that Snuffy had posted a version of The Bosun in 2001. So here, cobbled from Snuffy's post and what I can remember from over 20 years ago, is my feeble reconstruction of Ivan's version, in his memory. The bits in brackets are audience participation - everyone in the pub shouts them out.

I just know that wherever he is, he's propping up the bar, pint in one hand and a pouch of Drum tobacco in the other, telling stories and singing songs and playing that bloody awful version of Carrickfergus on the mandolin (I can hear him now: "You what? What a diabolical fucking liberty!").


The Bosun

It was the third day of the third week of the third month of 1833
When we set sail for those Goddamn Isles.
The ship was tossing on the ocean
And likewise the crew within their bunks.
But the bosun (a cunning fucker he was)
Took the ship's only longboat
And rowed to the nearest of those Goddamn Isles
Where they were holding the Feast of the Festering Foreskin

Into the ring jumped the King (a dirty sod)
The Queen (a voluptuous bitch)
And likewise the King's two beautiful daughters (SyPHEELius and GhonNOR-eea)

Whosoever shall bring forth the longest penis
Said the King (a dirty sod)
Shall have tea with my daughters (SyPHEELius and GhonNOR-eea)
Not Typhoo Tea
Not Mazawattee Tea
But C-U-N-T

Into the ring jumped the Witch Doctor
And proceeded to draw forth twelve and three quarter inches of penis
On which he proceeded to balance
Two occasional tables
Three mahagonay armchairs
Four packets of Woodbines (the ONLY brand)
And a bar of soap (just to keep the party clean).

But the bosun (a cunning fucker he was)
Strode into the ring, and titivating his penis
Between the thumb and forefinger
Of his right hand, caused that member to expand to enoooormous proportions,
Upon which he proceeded to balance
One Witch Doctor
Four occasional tables
Five mahagonay armchairs
Six packets of Woodbines (the ONLY brand)
And a bar of soap (just to keep the party clean)

"Shit" said the King (a dirty sod)
And forty thousand loyal arses heaved and strained with all their majestic might
(For it was death to disobey a royal command)

"Stop" said the Queen (a voluptuous bitch)
And forty thousand long, black, coiled, spirally turds hung in mid-suspension
(For it was death to disobey a royal command)

"Fuck Me" said the Princess
And sixty thousand chickens and one mangy dog were killed in the crush
And the bosun (a cunning fucker he was)
Lay with her for forty days and forty nights

...And that's about all I remember.



Cheers, Ivan.

I too heard once heard the complete "Daniel" story - from a Tennessean who would have made a good Charles Dickens character if Dickens had wanted an X-rating. It was over thirty years ago.

I mention it because most of the upthread recollections seem to be from the other side of one ocean or another.

I was clever enough to write it down at the time and may still have it. If I find it, I'll post it.

Having re-read this today I'm suprised I didn't comment before. I thought and remember from the late 60's that it started:,P>Twas in the days of good king Azimiarse the first that the words bollocks was found written on the palace doors and the king being in a foul mood, roared. "Who has done this foul deed?". One spotty faced little man playing with himself in the corner shouted, "Daniel". "Lo", said the king. "Let Daniel be sent for" and so it goes on with many of the variations written above incorporated into the monologue. Such bits as. "Shit", said the King etc. "Fuck me" said the queen and 1000 men were trampled in the rush. "Fuck me" cried the queen mother and nobody moved except one old man who'd been wanking off under his cloak. etc.

I though Micca might have written it down as it was from the same college that we both went to that I heard it, possibly from him or we both knew someone who knew it.

The scraps I remember from forestry camps around Melbourne in the late sixties were all supposed to be from a saga called "Daniel in the Lions Den", but the story revolved around the one-up-manship of the bosun, "cunning bugger that he was" paddling ashore in a sanitary can and balancing the witchdoctor etc and one packet of WD & HO Wills, the only cigarette in place of Woodbine, as above....

....Together with the the exhortations of the ladies of the court;

"Fuck me" cried the Duchess.
"What, again?" moaned the Duke, wiping his prick on the tablecloth...

"Fuck me" cried the Queen and a giant Nubian slave slipped her on like a glove.

"Fuck me" cried the Duchess but no-one moved save one old sailor who, grabbing her by the scruff of the cunt, pulled her on like a well worn seaboot.

But wait there's more:

But Daniel did not die
He made his way to Babylon
Where he was arrested for painting arseholes on the palace walls
He was taken before the king
(something I don't remember)
The king cried "shit"
And 40 000 arseholes heaved in strain
The king cried "stop"
And 40 000 prime turds were nipped in the bud

That's it as far as I can remember. It was a long time ago and far far away ...

The bits I remember:

On the day of the passover of the castration of the camels,
Daniel set forth to masturbate
On the way he was set upon by thieves
These were not ordinary thieves
These were bum chum thieves
They ragged him, bagged him and shagged him
And left him on the roadside to die.

Someone actually wrote a Science Fiction short story (1950's or 60s?)about an era (Parallel history? British Empire in space) when spaceship pilots were all knighted as part of the job. One became stranded on a planet where the local transport was (you guessed it) large mutant dogs.

His quote, when offered one to ride : "You wouldn't send a Knight out on a dog like this".
Memo: Must track down the story!

On the subject of the Saga of Daniel, there are many versions, and like the postings above, most have only part of the whole saga.

Has any historian tracked down a full and coherent version, I wonder. Jim Dixon's, above, still doesn't have everything that I remember, and is different in some details.

For in those days, the King's word was law

And God said unto Ahab - go forth into t' desert
And Ahab went forth into t' desert.
And whilst in t' desert, flaxen-haired maiden come unto Ahab and said -
Wilt thou tarry with me here ? And Ahab said - Yea, I will!.

I remember "Daniel" from my time at University. The version I knew began something like this:

"In days of old when knights were bold, someone wrote "Arseholes" upon the scroll of honour. At this the King was sore angered and did call forth his courtiers and after many days mating and mutually mass debating, they did decide beyond all doubt that 'twas Daniel who had done the dirty deed and did cast him into the Lions den..."

The next bit is much like has been posted previously but further on there was this:

"...and the King did banish Daniel to the desert and Daniel went forth and came unto the Waxy Flaxy Maiden. She, seeing him came unto Daniel and said 'Daniel, Daniel, wilt thou lie with this night?' 'Verily' said Daniel and he lay with her. In the morning, Daniel did arise and went on his way. After wandering in the desert for forty days and forty nights, Daniel came once more unto the Waxy Flaxy Maiden who, seeing him, did come unto him and said 'Daniel, Daniel, I am forty days and forty nights with child! What steps art thou going to take?' 'Bloody great big ones!' said Daniel and departed coming once more unto the city where Daniel did spy the King. Daniel took up a lump of crystalline camel turd and did cast it at the King, striking him square between the eyes. 'Shot', said Daniel. 'Shit', said the King..." and the rest you already know.

But the Bosun, crafty bastard what 'e were, .. balanced ... one witchdoctor, .. and four packets of Woodbines, the best cigarettes, the finest cigarettes, .... (That seems to have been an ad slogan, which should date this version.

Following is the entire version I heard recited by Francis Bacon (Not the "Sir Francis Bacon" you're thinking of) on our high school band bus years ago...

T'was the night of the King's Castration and the King was giving a Ball...his left one.

The Queen had said "I want to be King too!", and so the King agreed...not because he had to, but because he had two!

But when the King said "Ball"...well, everyone did, so there was a population explosion in the land.

So the King summonned forth David, but David slipped on a lion's turd and came fifth...

"Ho!" said David.
"What Ho?" asked the King.
"Ass Ho!" replied David.
Chalk one up for the common people.

For his insolence, David was thrown into the lion's den...
As a lion crept upon him, David grabbed him by the balls.

"That tickles!" said the lion.
"What tickles?" asked David.
"Testicles!" replied the lion.
Chalk one up for the mangey beast.

Meanwhile, the knights were merrily stacking camel turds upon the round table, as bullshit had not yet been invented.

Shit flew at random. Random ducked. Shit hit the King.

"Shit!" yelled the King. And the King's word being law in those days, there was a mass movement throughout the land.

Later that night in the Royal Bedchamber, "Roll over!" said the King.
"Fu@#ed if I will!" said the Queen. "Yes, indeed! But corn holed if you don't!" said the King.

As it came out, the Queen got it in

The End...

Jim Dixon's post above contains most of the lines I recall of this epic (and many I don't), which I first heard around 1960, in Melbourne. But where his version has

"This made the King exceeding angry, but the Queen only said, "Well, I'll be fucked!" --- more in hope than in indignation. But nobody moved, save a solitary senile seneschal, quietly masturbating in a corner into a silver teaspoon, and Daniel, who, taking her at her word, grabbed the Queen by her butt-cheeks and slipped her onto his dick like a well-worn jackboot."

I recall
""This made the King exceeding angry, but the Queen only said, "Well, I'll be fucked!" --- more in hope than in indignation. But nobody moved, save the Duke who, being a man of action and very few words, grabbed the Queen by the cheeks of her arse and drew her onto his dick like a wet Wellington boot."

I also recall most of the variations mentioned above of "They've torn down the pub!" from the same era and circumstances. I suspect the considerable variation in these epics (and others, such as "The bastard from the bush" is due to the fact that they were all orally tranmitted (now, there's an image) and aurally constructed, rather than written down.

Kel Watkins did a project about 20 years ago on what he called 'photocopied folklore'. I seem to recall that such items as "The sex life of an electron" (which was a narrative using all the technical terms used in basic electronics) displayed considerable variation when only typewriters were available to pass them on, and that this variation diminished when photocopiers came into frequent use in the 70s. Now that sources such as Jim's are now available digitally (another image to conjure with) I suspect the variation in these items will also diminish. Pity!

   A few moments of silence followed. And then, another knock.
   This time Grandma grabbed her dead husband's shotgun, signaled everyone of her intent, and crept quietly to the door. Her jaw was set and the kind eternal light had left her pale blue eyes; I saw the wild look of the vengeful she-wolf bent on protecting her cubs.
   Grandma suddenly flung the door open and I saw her quickly blast away with both rounds from the over-and under.
   When the smoke cleared, we all stood there in silence... looking down at the twisted and bloody body of Harold Schmidt, the mailman, his bag of letters scattered across the walkway and a C.O.D. parcel lying inches from his twitching fingers.
   "Who would've thought?" Grandma's voice said with a quiver. "Harold Schmidt!... a fucking alien!"

I have heard this before somewhere but rather than regarding Daniel it was about Isaac the court jester.Like everyone else i cant remember it all...

While walking in the wilderness one day Isaac came up on a fair maiden, who, indignantly cleaned herself and waltzed off.

Twas in this same wilderness isaac was set upon by bandits from the east. Bum bandits be they! Isaac was shagged ragged and debagged, being left sore and tore.

UPon walking in this same wilderness 9 mopnths later he came upon the same fair maidnen..twice.. sideways! The fair maiden said to Isaac " i am with your child dear isaac, what steps will you take? "fucking great big ones back to the castle" said isaac.

Meanwhile, back at the castle shit was being flung at random. Now random, being a sly bastard ducked and the shit hit the queen. "Well fuck me!" said the queen and 50 000 men were killed in the rush. All except the butler who was dipping his dick in yellow dessert. When asked to comment on the days' proceedings the butler replied "I'm fucking dis custard"...

(hope it helps or reminds someone of another verse. (anyone else heard of isaac the court jester?)

I heard the "'Balls!' said the Queen" phrase at Ft. Riley, Kansas in the Fall of 1963.

"If my aunt had wheels, she'd be a bicycle" is the version I learned from my dear old history professor.

Such recitations are known as "sod's operas" in the Royal Navy. My favourite is 'Awkins' 'Alo, the one about the angel (ex-able seaman) who gets tired of harping and ends up on Creator's Report, where he is sentenced to three days Hell:

"'Ere to 'ere, fiery chariots wheel-greasing.
'Ere to 'ere, Pearly Gates rail polishing.
Remainder: 'Arpin."
So I 'arps from noon to stand-easy, and I 'arps from stand-easy to dinner.

Et cetera.

The phrase I've heard was "If my aunt had two wheels, she'd be a pushcart" (assuming of course, some preknowledge of the original)
