With weeping and with laughter 

Still is the story told, 

How well Eric held the wall 

In the brave days of old.

- after Thomas Babington, Lord Macaulay

They never re-staged that fallen haul

They just placed a marble in front of it all.

These few words are written by that stand

At the bottom of this heap lies a big, big man.

- after Jimmy Dean
