    The Daily Telegraph has said
    That Bert Fry's alter ego's dead.

    Wikipedia gave the date,
    This year on February eight
    Eric Allan passed away
    Farewell Keith from "Nuts in May."

    Farewell Eric, farewell Bert
    Farewell Les from down "The Street"
    Don't "Hold the Back Page" any more
    Reginald has gone before.

    Didn't Roger Sloman play Keith? It seem that Eric was the
    Quarryman.

    I think the question here is this:

    Did I just make a slip-up in my research or am I a subscriber to the
    Neil Young school of verse where, if the name of the person you really
    want to write about doesn't fit, choose another name that does?

    (For anybody still struggling with this question the answer is, of
    course, (a). Doh!)
