4. If it's "The Boy Stood on The Burning Deck" I think it's actually called "Casabianca" ?? We studied it briefly in English Literature at school (that was in the 1950's) but I don't remember it having any other title than that first line .... [ Of course I could absolutely be thinking of totally the wrong poem !! ]

We knew of silly versions at school, Urban Worrier, but not rude ones. I expect we were all just too young
