o sung wu,

There was a little parody on the song "Frankie and Johnny" that went the rounds of the Sydney folk song venues just after the siege.

It was allegedly written by a constable who was at Glenfield but who, understandably, chose to remain unknown!!

The chorus went,

"Norman gave Wally a rifle, an Armalite I hear,
The only thing Wally couldn't get was fresh supplies of beer.
He was their man, an he did do wrong."

That's all that I remember except that one verse did allude to Beryl marrying Wally in the hopes of an early qualification for the Widow's Pension.

Hi there IS MISE...

I did reply to your last message but I've been having a lot of trouble getting through. Whenever I wish to 'Post Comment' I receive a message saying 'server failure', so I'm buggered if I know old friend. Anyway I'll give it another go and see what happens ?

I really like that little 'ditty' sort of suits the occasion I reckon. Poor ol' Beryl she was silly as a snake as well, I've no idea what happened to them both - suppose I should first ring 'CentreLink' they'd know for sure. Sorry, sarcasm is the lowest form of wit ? Many thanks IS MISE.
