Brilliant stuff, Snock.

This should be published, and illustrated by Bill Tidy.

Dear Snock,

What an hospitable person you are, to have programmed your personal space to greet any comer with a "personal" encomium. I realise that the poem in honour of Chaiwallah will greet all comers with their own names, but nonetheless, it is a charming gesture, and still a thrill, especially to us aged prune-faced fossils who are less wise to the ways of the technology.

Meanwhile The Ballad of Grimley Moer careers along at a great old lick.

Have you managed to programme things so that the entries automatically appear on the dedicated page, or did you have to transfer them one by one? ( You will have to excuse my ignorance on these matters.)

Thanks again,

Cheers,

wallah

PS. In "Snerggling with Grandad," do I hear echoes of Peter Sellers "Best of Sellers" country ballads from years and years ago?

I wish!
I just cut n paste it onto the page as it grows, seemed like a good idea at the time.........

Peter Sellers influence? New one on me, it usually strikes me as a mixture of Lewis Carrol and Pam Ayers

Glad you like the stuff though

And what about Edward Lear? I find myself torn between the Carrollesque and the Learitude. Lear wrote wonderful nonsense epic stories, quite apart from the classics like "The Jumblies,""The Dong with the Luminous Nose,", The Pobble who had no Toes," "The Owl and The Pussycat" etc.

I've heard/seen Pam Ayers on TV, but have never had a book of her stuff. Most make good the deficit.
