I hope there's no place down there called Ruddington.

There used to be a Menzies Hotel in Melbourne. That's all I can think of at the moment. C. J. Dennis spent a lot of time there before he went broke.

Maybe that's why he went broke.

I wonder if he thought of swapping an original C.J.Dennis poem for a drink. Or a pie !

I know he wrote a poem about the pieman.

Here it is:

I know the pieman Stephen, it's in Dennis's Book for Kids with all the wonderful drawings.

He may well do, Marty. My research did not extend that far.

Of course you do, Neville. I'm sorry.
