Tony Lavis: That would be Thomas Becket you're thinking of

Oh God! You're right. Happens when you get older. Interesting place Canterbury Cathedral though.

I don't usually comment on other typo's, I make enough of me own, a few in this post, but I liked this one of yours Tony, not having a shot, it just appeals to my mad cents of humor. Your use of the word CURRY.
I think old Henry wanted the lads to give Tom a bit of curry, and they did, a bit two much. It wasn't Tom Moore although he got a bit more of the curry as well, or Tom Becket, was it not Tom Tom the Pipers Son. LOL.

Paul1405: Tom Tom the Pipers Son

Tom Tom the piper son
He didn't drink Rum,
He only drank Brandy.
He always chased boys
For he was a Dandy.

Old nursery Rhyme. First found around 1560, lots of versions.

Tom Tom the pipers son
Stole a pig and away he ran
The pig was eat and Tom was beat
And Tom went roaring down the street.

This original version was written in the 18th
Century.

There have been many others since.

One of my other favourites is:

Joseph and James were such nice little boys
Jigsaws and chess were their favourite toys
They never played vulgar or dangerous games
Such nice little boys were Joseph and James

Peter and Paul were rougher than bags
Their hair always tousled, their clothing in rags
If anyone anywhere heard of a brawl
They knew where to look for Peter and Paul.
