Glad you and your grandson liked the poem, Birthe!
I should have said before that "Dahn the Plug'ole" was written by that most profilic of poets, Anonymous. I have the cockney version in my "Rattle Bag", which is an anthology edited by Heaney and Hughes. And John, you're quite right -- it's should be "lorst", at least that's what "The Rattle Bag" has.
