Canty Muckle
Description
The poet, Donald Campbell has written a poem inspired by this character by Holt:

Canty Muckle

From Soho to the White Hart Inn
Canty Muckle knows the way.
Whatever difficulty he's in
He'll win through, come what may;
With reins in hand, he understands
There must be no delay
and, without fail, the Royal Mail
will arrive this Saturday.
