Worship in the temples of the reading public.

Inter-library loan is, eventually, going to provide me with a copy of that music hall song of sadly not immortal fame, "With My Little Wigger-Wagger In My Hand" (sometimes seen as "Wiggle-Waggle"), by (Fred) Earl, (Frank) Carter, and (Gilbert) Wells. Yes, the lyrics are about as sophisticated as the title suggests:

As I walked along the wire with my coat on fire
And my little wigger-wagger in my hand


Ah! My childhood inheritance.
