The ballad of Mentler and Ruby NodoleView (or 'Farewell to London') , written in the bar of Ye Olde Cheshire Cheese, Fleet Street,13.01.09
Gather round ye English folk
Listen to my tale true
You will shiver, in sweat you'll soak
At the ballad of NodoleView
Met I Mentler one warm summer
When we both worked in London
Selling stuff by phone, a bummer
But he was far from humdrum
His eyes were dark, his smile was white
My hand did I extend
He made me laugh, day and night
I was proud to call him 'friend'
In Manor Park we took a house
And had good times together
Until one day there came his spouse
Which signaled stormy weather
She was one of those modern girls
And the despair of her father
No washing, no cleaning, thongs, no pearls
'Oy! She's married a schwartzer! '
She cooked no meat, she fed him nuts
And Mentler he did change
The cheery chap became a klutz
His eyes they swiveled strange
He ceased, he stopped, his life of toil
And spent his days instead
Playing games while the heating boiled
And flashing his pole in bed
They lazed all day, they played all day
They thought they knew it all
That halal slaughter was the kindest way
That Sartre played football
The dust piled high, the plates grew mould
And all that I could see
Was Mentler's gaze on the PC cold

Now Mentler had another bit
A lass who lived in Leeds
When Ruby knew she threw a fit
Man! She was not pleased
