Now...some Culture from the fine Dorset village of Little Piddle:
Piddle Pride (A Poem)
We Piddle Men are standing proud,
We say again, and say out loud!
We Piddle Men are proud to say;
`We Piddle, Piddle every day!`
Oh, Piddle River that proudly flows
from far upstream,
to where - God knows!
To Piddle we are proud to do,
and make our Piddle plain to view,
But how we shake and how we tremble,
when we think of `Number Two*!`
Cuthbert Clinch (1850-1935)
Village Poet and Undertaker
*Number Two: A derogatory term that the villagers have for the growing city of Big Piddle that is slowly encroaching on them from the North.
Famous Inventors from Little Piddle
Fred Clavicle (1850-1910) inventor of steam driven false teeth.
Julius F. Hozhalf inventor invisible writing paper.
Henry Alexander Follen, Originator of the `Follen Theory of Male Pattern Hair Loss` (who`s first and only rule states `It just lets go...`)
All these Great Minds sleep in sweet repose in the weeping-willow shaded confines of the little churchyard of St Bidolphs-on-the-Bog, the small Medieval church in the centre of the village.
