	They were limericks from Turkistan and they built their Castle on an
island.  You can always recognize the Castle because beautiful Drakes
are swimming in the moat.
	The Drakes were forced from their Hilltop of Gold in D'ormont but their
current abode in Overbrook is more apropos!  When heading north on
summer vacation to Woods Run they often lay over in Spring Hill or
Spring Garden.  If they are adventuresome, they sometimes like a
European flavor to their vacations and they will stop in Heidelberg! 
But since they normally navigate only north and south, going west causes
the Drakes some confusion.  They once thought both Neville Island and
Island Avenue were home and they ended up on the Rocks  --  McKees
Rocks!

	I'm lost - what am I missing in Jane Bloor and Hamilton Jane?  Is this
something we would want to repeat in mixed company?!?!
