Arthur Selza, a crocodile Walked upon Blackpool's Golden Mile He dropped a large golden tear And began to lament His pocket money gone He'd gambled all day His railway ticket Was now well away Wandering by the seaside crying aloud A fish swam up, hearing the sound Go home Arthur, you're spread all around But I cant swim, said Arthur betrayed I show you how, said the fish You do it this way So Arthur swam home, in a year and a day |

Sounds like a story about Las Vegas. I’m sure there have been a lot of golden tears dropped there as well. Great story….. well except for poor Arthur. JL |

Thanks - the character Arthur Selza was my brother's. The best of his ideas I liked was Arthur balancing his bus ticket on his nose, when the bus jolted and he swallowed his ticket. Dave |
