THE RED WHEELBARROW
(It seems to be my lot in life to improve on the works of lesser poets than myself - in this case that loada bollocks by William Webb Ellis. A shameless repost from 2013)
Iām being followed by a wheelbarrow
Wheelbarrow, wheelbarrow.
Pulling my chickens in a wheelbarrow,
Wheelbarrow, wheelbarrow.
And if tha wondārinā āIs it red?ā
Please thissen. Iāve not said.
And if you tha wondārinā āIs it red?ā
Thouāll have to imagine for thissen;
Itās all inside thi āead.
Iām being followedā¦.
And if tha thinks itās got two wheels
Say, one thatās free and one that squeals,
And it tha thinks itās got two wheels
Itās up to thissen to please thissen
And please thissen what tha feels.
Iām being followedā¦
And is it a slow un or else a quick un?
Depends on if it got some bricks in
And is it a slow un or else a quick un?
Itās certainly slower when itās bricks in
But quickens if itās just chickens.
Aye, tābuilders bricks are heavy
But chickens ās dead light
Tābricks are sort oā reddy
While tāchickens they are white.
Iām being followed by a wheelbarrow
Wheelbarrow, wheelbarrow.
Pulling my chickens in a wheelbarrow,
Wheelbarrow, wheelbarrow.
