Before the Flood
On midsummer’s day
In nineteen seventy six
Acting goatishly
During the heatwave
We did a rain-dance
Little did we know
What would come to pass
As we rolled in dry dog pooh
On biscuit brown
municipal grass
On midsummer’s day
In nineteen seventy six
Acting goatishly
During the heatwave
We did a rain-dance
Little did we know
What would come to pass
As we rolled in dry dog pooh
On biscuit brown
municipal grass
Chipped enamel
Hairline fractures battered glaze
Otherwise escaped unscathed
Got off lightly close run thing
Hurricane Typhoo subsides
Tropical tempest
Blows itself away
