Dastardly Dave

 Who's Dave?


I Love
Iron Maiden
Dave

This was written in stones on the road at the end of our cul de sac
I walk down here now and again but there is little other traffic and only one, unoccupied, house 
One of the landowners, who lives in town, comes down to potter on his land, otherwise it's just goats and cats.  And Dave

Maybe it was this mysterious-Dave who stole Ks helmet from his bike.  So who the hell is he?
What is happening in our quiet backwater? 

Mysterious-Dave who loves Iron maiden. Who are you?

'Where did you come from, where did you go
Where did you come from Cotton Eyed Joe'

(American Folk Song)


And what use did he have for this bed of nails that disappeared around the same time. 
 

Maybe it's...
 
Macavity the mystery cat
He's called the hidden paw
For he's the master criminal who can defy the law 
He's the bafflement of Scotland Yard, the Flying Squads despair 
For when they reach the scene of crime
Macavity's not there 



The Mystery Cat by T. S. Elliot

One of my mother's favourites
