Lost youth

[wraymond]

On a lighter note:

Overtaken by a fit of nostalgia for younger days, I’ve just watched Paul Whitehouse and Bob Mortimer fishing on a beautiful river. It was the last of six episodes and re-filled the depleted reservoir of reverie we all carry.

One of them called their dog by name and it rang a bell somewhere but I can’t..quite...get....the.... church....it’s.....in. The dog’s name was Ted and my mind jumped to a line from a poem I knew as a boy. It’s driving me mad. Does anybody know where the line comes from?

‘’....Daft Ted, Danuta, and me”.

"Google is your friend", as they say

Thorg hilly grove and burly ive,
Big daleys grass and tree
We clobber ever gallup
Deaf Ted, Danoota, and me.

Never shall we partly stray,
Fast stirrup all we three
Fight the battle mighty sword
Deaf Ted, Danoota, and me.

With faithful frog beside us,
Big mighty club are we
The battle scab and frisky dyke
Deaf Ted, Danoota, and me.

We fith the baddy baddies,
For colour, race and cree
For Negro, Jew and Bernie
Deaf Ted, Danoota, and me.

Thorg Billy grown and Burnley ten,
And Aston Villa three
We clobber ever gallup
Deaf Ted, Danoota, and me.

So if you hear a wonderous sight,
Am blutter or at sea,
Rememer whom they mighty say
Deaf Ted, Danoota, and me -

Thanks Cliff, a lifesaver. And my apologies to Deaf Ted. I doubt he would have heard me though.
