Thanks for renewing my memory of this one...I do recall reading it...in days long gone by...My problem is that my memory is stuffed with so much trivia that the content crowds out the location so I just "spout it" and hope than somebody can provide the location.. Pete

"Oh, just once more before I'm dead Let me stand the conductor on his head; Let me see him crawl from beneath the wreck, With a window sash hung round his neck" The poem was written by Henry MacNamara who undoubtably was an old hogger or conductor depending on how you interpret the poem.
