This is just a bit
of (very) silliness that I wrote ages ago (and just now decided to polish up), inspired by morcherry’s
Labour 5 over at the Anthology. I’d advise you all to go and read that
before continuing this, because it’s an extremely funny piece of writing and
also because otherwise my little song won’t make much sense to you. The song
that I “used”, by the way, is ‘The Farmer in the Dell’ which I (like
many other people!) used to sing when I was little…I use the “heigh-ho”
spelling, but it can also be found as “hi-ho”.
Dedicated to Morcherry
(hope you like it!) and the rest of the Anthology gang, especially
Darwin’s Apprentice (who has done something like this himself) and St.
Margarets.
Many thanks, as always, go
to the wonderful Zsenya; I don’t know where I’d be without her!
