the sun and air (no, not son and heir) were simply glorious. So while these old idiots kept me caged in the chapel, I made up a song about every one of them, after the fashion of one I used to know about some of the dignitaries of the Roman Catholic church. It's not a polite song, Sandy taught it to me, but mine is perfectly respectable. Should you like to hear it? Sorry you don't know the tune, but perhaps you do.
"Come, let's have a party," said old Dr. Hardy. Yes ho, lads, Roll a man down.
"Step up to the bar again," invited Sue Corgin and now it's time to roll a man down.
"Oh let's play some games" said Dean Jinny James, yes ho, etc.
"I'll beat you at pool" said biscuit faced Rhule and now, etc.
"I don't dare to ditch it," said good Bro. Pritchett. Yes, etc. 
"At Rich Hill we showed 'em" said long-legged Odom, 
and now - etc.
