THE CUTTY WREN
Oh where are you going said Milder to Malder
Oh we may not tell you said Festle to Fose
We're off to the forest said John the Red Nose
We're off to the forest said John the Red Nose
And what will you do there said Milder to Malder
Oh we may not tell you said Festle to Fose
We´ll shoot the cutty wren, said John the Red Nose
We´ll shoot the cutty wren, said John the Red Nose
And how will you shoot us said Milder to Malder
With bows and with arrows said John the Red Nose
Oh that will not do said Milder to Malder
Great guns and great cannon said John the Red Nose
And how will you fetch her said Milder to Malder
Oh we may not tell you said Festle to Fose
On four strong men's shoulders said John the Red Nose
On four strong men's shoulders said John the Red Nose
Ah that will not do said Milder to Malder
Oh what will do then said Festle to Fose
Great carts and great wagons said John the Red Nose
Great carts and great wagons said John the Red Nose
Oh how will you cut her up said Milder to Malder
With knives and with forks said John the Red Nose
Oh that will not do said Milder to Malder
Great hatchets and cleavers said John the Red Nose
Oh how will you boil her said Milder to Malder
Oh we may not tell you said Festle to Fose
In pots and in kettles said John the Red Nose
In pots and in kettles said John the Red Nose
O that will not do said Milder to Malder
Oh what will do then said Festle to Fose
Bloody great brass cauldrons said John the Red Nose
Bloody great brass cauldrons said John the Red Nose
Oh who'll get the spare ribs said Milder to Malder
We'll give 'em all to the poor said John the Red Nose
We'll give 'em all to the poor said John the Red Nose

EMERALD LEAVES
Oh Emerald Leaves
Turn your backs to the breeze
Sheltered under your canopy
Wild creatures are busy.
Small pig things with small feet
Rustle by in a heartbeat
Birds two of a feather
Nest upright together
Twig branch to the tree trunk
Grow anew from the plant junk
Feast on dead leaves to grow more
Sun sandwich with forest floor
Small pig things with small feet
Rustle by in a heartbeat
Birds two of a feather
Nest upright together
Rainfall in a grey town
Stabs sharp as it beats down
Harsh feeling and harsh sound
Angry shots from the sky’s frown
Big people with big feet
Rush past in a heartbeat
Girls two of a feather
Walk closely together
Oh life in the treescape
Top to toe in my dreamscape
Worlds apart from my winter
Be my summer sister

FATBERG
Oh metal and stone
Grit and ancient bones
Flowing under the ground
Splashy watery sound
Mirroring the tapestry
Of human activity, where
We all up above
Live, argue and love.
Tunneling through the rock below
Rodent fodder is rife
Waste and water and energy flow
Traffic of human life
Deep down in the gloom
What is it you see?
White monster of doom
Yuk yukky yukky!
Everything’s wrong with the waterways
Interrupted flow
Clogging the city’s arteries
Trouble down below
Fatberg, fatberg
Deep down in the gloom
What is it you see?
White monster of doom
Yuk yukky yukky!
(+Fatberg, Fatberg)
