All Consuming: It seems that many fathers promoted this verse - or their own version of same. A bit like Chinese Whispers which we played at school where person the first whispers something to the person next to them, who repeats what they have heard, round a circle. The final person says out loud what they have heard. Always quite different. And of course it would not, could not be called Chinese Whispers any more. 'Wot I heard' perhaps.
