Norbert Dentressangle.

Okay, so it's a mixture of music and road haulage, but there's nothing wrong with that, is there?    Blogger SB4444 wrote this lovely little ditty:

If you're ever up a tree

Or tangled in a mangle

The man you want, you must agree, is Norbert Dentressangle

If you're bitten by a bee

Or your Wingle will not wangle

Just take a little tip from me, call Norbert Dentressangle

Norbert Corbett, Norbert Forbert, Norbert Dentressangle

He's the kind of German man with whom one shouldn't tangle

He doesn't wear a lucky charm to dangle on a bangle

That strangely named truck-driving geezer, Norbert Dentressangle


In a desperate attempt to amuse people I've taken to publishing my poetry. The lorries of Norbert Dentressangle are often seen trundling along the motorways of Britain. The name was so poetic that it fired up my inner Muse (I don't use my outer Muse for Health and Safety reasons). I thought Norbert was German, but it's a Franglicised German name pronounced Dontruss'onglll or something, which would spoil the poem a bit, so I've used a poetic licence that I bought from the Post Office. Also I've employed the popular technique of making up words in order to get a rhyme. First used to great effect by W.B Yates in his "Ode to a Porange".
