My father had a similar saying but it wasn't Stafford Jail in our house, it was Worcester Jail.

It goes on: Worcester Jail, is too far, Send him in a motor car. Motor Car, is too big, send him on a jacky-pig. Jacky-pig, is too small Send him on a rubber ball. Rubber ball, is just right, Send him off, tomorrow night!

Thanks for the further information Jim. I had no idea what the rest of the saying was. Wonder how that song originated; it was probably an old song based on someone or other. But how would we find out.
