Let your imagination leap
and picture me as I mumble
Sir I am ever so humble
seen as the archetypal creep
I am of course Uriah Heep
Of all the books that you have read
this man will stick within your head
but if we look inside his mind
we gain insight into mankind
no better trait needs to be said.

Like many people in Britain I fear
who’ve all been waiting over a year
to see people on the other side of the world
who ran and jumped and bounced and twirled
but quite a few of us in the main
have watched the rowers as they strain
but have any of us ever thought
if they get sore sitting on those thwarts

Whilst on a trip down to the Weald
I went for a walk through the fields
The air smelt fresh, I soon saw why
On the hill was a huge pig sty
I have no qualms about pig-shit
Just glad I didn’t walk through it
Then a story came to my mind
The tale of the Gadarene swine
And the farmers in this region
Wouldn’t like it if I were Legion

We turn toward the beach once more
and staring through the smoke-filled air
see hordes of figures standing there
too tired even to implore
us to remove them from this shore
when at the start of this new day
our boats appeared across the bay
faced by such a desolate scene
from the hell through which they’ve been
the saviours for whom each did pray.

The contestants in Paris to Dakar races
plan their routes on a most sensible basis
that if they are not able to carry any water
when planning their route they oughta
make certain that they can stop at an oasis.

Whenever into the country we go
the direction to take I always know
the answer is always plain to see
I always look for an old bent tree
but how does that help you may well ask
well the South west wind blows up a bent tree’s trunk, (sorry but nothing rhymed)

Miniature koi swim
showing off their gold armour

Fishermen’s cottages fringe the bay
as the cool evening mist comes down
the lamplighter begins his round
his measured footstep seems to say
the ending of another day
in the cramped parlours fires burn low
shadows form in their fading glow
whiskers twitching mice start to creep
wary of the ginger tom’s leap
knowing that fresh warm blood may flow

Here’s the story of Nathaniel Quinn
he never did learn how to swim
one day at the lakeside he fell in
and though everyone was looking for him
they never did find poor Nathaniel Quinn
