Thread: Update:

Ran across this this morning in my files. Updated it.

When I was a lad I served a term as lather boy in a shaving firm
I stropped the razors and toned the hones,
Cleaned the brushes, made scales of bone.
I cleaned the brushes so magnificently
That now I am the keeper of the King's Cutlery
(Chorus)
Oh he cleaned the brushes so magnificently
That now he is the Keeper of the King’s Cutlery.

I studied studiously the intricacies of honing an edge
Mastering the mystery of slurry making.
I learned to pin effectively
And now I am the Keeper of the King’s Cutlery.

Oh he learned to pin so effectively
That now he is the Keeper of the King’s Cutlery.

My advice to one and all is this
If you want to achieve success and bliss
Apply yourself most assiduously
And you too can be the Keeper of the King’s Cutlery.

Oh he applied himself most assiduously
And now he is the Keeper of the King’s Cutlery.
