My Song - Laura Jean

Dilly dally all the day, dilly Dolly

Silly Sally making hay under a brolly

Jilly sleepy through the best part of the morning

Rain goes to waste as it leaps off the awning

Lilly planted seeds in the wrong end of the garden

Now she’s planting roses and asking for a pardon

The sage is wilted and the parsley is saggy

Rosemary flowers and is pecked out by a maggie

Shears are rusting and the mice nest in the hedges

Dogs in danger due to holes in the fences

They paw up the dirt in great grassy wedges

I stare at my skirt while the webs choke the ledges

My song is written and it joins the commotion

Wool lays un-knitted and the buttons half sewn on

My song is finished la di da la di da da

Molly says good riddance as the sun goes under

I am singing and it turns into carbon

The bell is ringing but nobodies coming

I am singing la di da la di da da

The sails are pricking but the boat stays in the harbour

I am singing — ah
