Memory - the griat bang theory



Jangling about in my head, alongside how to make bread , kedgerees,  a decent dhall, pin numbers, phone numbers,  my address, friend’s names and addresses and memories dating back to when I was about two,  I also carry a large collection of bizarre scraps, which switch themselves to replay from time to time, apparently independently of my will.  
About 20 years ago I worked in a legal office which dealt with insurance claims for a large van owning company.   All of the claims were based on accident reports filled in by the driver, and quite often the drivers were not good at filling the forms in.  My favourite stated
Cause of accident: Sudely a griat bang
Damage caused: Front front whee
What I was not expecting, though, was that this would pop into my head yesterday whilst Dolly and I were wandering behind Lake Cou Cou.  Not only did it pop, but if formed itself into a little song which went
Sudely a griat bang
Sudely a griat bang
Sudely a griat bang

And I hurt my front front whee
As everyone can see
Fortunately there was no-one else around at the time, other than the dog and a few sheep,  to hear me singing this pretty ditty.
