THE TRUTH ! - SOLOMON GRUNDY WAS NOT BORN ON MONDAY !

SOLOMON "PEPE LE PUKE" GRUNDY

Evidence uncovered by the Duck Flat Cap Society has disproved the long held belief that Solomon Grundy was born on Monday.

Archaeological students from the Krakow and Warsaw institute of Nursery Rhymes, working on a recently demolished east London slum, have discovered the long lost birth certificate of the fabled Solomon Grundy.

Records of his birth were thought to have been permanently lost when the troubled boys family moved the young Solomon in to a secure unit at a south London asylum, and burnt his clothing and belongings so as to eradicate all trace of his connection with the family.

The birth certificate goes on to indicate that the so called Solomon Grundy, was no other than an antecedent of Duck Flat Cap Society favourite and part time refuse collector, Pepe Le Puke.Furthermore it reveals that the sad birth took place on a Wednesday evening, and not as fabled on a Monday.

Ageing ex body popper and circus performer, Pepe Le Puke has been approached by the DFCS acting chairman and president Driver Chard in this respect and denies any link to Solomon Grundy. This is despite an alleged six inch tattoo on his back displaying the name of his ancestor, and a ring held on a gold chain inscribed with his name. Further evidence of a link is revealed due to his naming his two children Solomon and Grundy, even though one is a girl.

Pepe Le Pukes denial of any link to Solomon was taken extremely badly by Driver Chard who had previously told the remainder of the DFCS nursery rhyme sub committee, that he had previous knowledge of the true identity and day of birth of Solomon Grundy due to an earlier encounter with an Egyptian soothsayer when patrolling the Egyptian desert in 1948.

   Driver chard's face turned a deep purple as he started to fidget and jump  in and out of his seat whilst drinking his pint of real ale in under four seconds. His hands trembling, he spilt his next drink whilst lifting to his cracked lips and exclaimed that he was dealing with the devil incarnate and needed to lie down and smoke a cheroot.

He then proceeded to remove his clothing and sit naked in the centre of the table chanting the Lords prayer whilst twirling a Fulham F.C scarf above his greying scalp, held aloft by his short stumpy arms.


Before long, the remaining committee members felt they had to intervene, and Bazza Duck dragged the now screaming Chairman from his table perch and deposited him back on his seat, tying him down with his scarf.

At this stage it was noticed that the diminutive Pepe Le Puke had left the premises and taken the recently re discovered birth certificate with him.

Further study in to this intriguing situation will take place when the certificate is obtained from the minuscule tightfisted body popper, and further details will be posted in due course.
