I'd just returned here to mention it myself. My favourite allusion to that song will always be Weird Al Yankovic's song/video "Bob" (on YouTube).<BR/>Talking of "new sounds" and the Hit Parade as we were, I thought I'd "discovered" Weird Al, only to find I was merely ignorant and my daughter knew all the words to half his songs (White and Nerdy, Amish Paradise, et al).Dominic Rivronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02618013365521035400noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1564859019305736550.post-63374337261663140512008-11-28T22:42:00.000+00:002008-11-28T22:42:00.000+00:00Yes, the poem looks good now.
