      Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."

            I vaguely remember the word bogeyman appearing in a question but can't remember the context - google says Schoenberg once called himself that.
            my computer doesn't seem to like the word boughing - does it appear in a poem? otherwise an obscure meaning of hitting metal with a hammer ?

            personally I need a clue but others are probably coping without. is "magic" a clue ?
            is R a composer ?

              Just an aside to explain why I never contribute to this thread. I can sometimes work out the answers, but were I to do respond correctly, I would be doomed to thinking up a puzzle of my own... and ...

                do what I do and chicken out of setting a question - known locally as the mercia side-step [or something]

                if you know the answer to the flayversome R please tell [or give me a clue]

                  that is more than sufficient qualification to join in

                    R is not a composer. Bough could well be a pun.

                      EA I go weeks without getting anything and my puzzles are generally snaffled up in minutes so have no fear - if you fancy a go, you'd be most welcome

                          Is this a reference to Colonel Bogey?

                            Yes, it was mixed in with my R.

                            The "magic" bit above was an indirect alliterative reference to the person behind the "breakfast" clue
