HUMOUR

Fen Fever

by Anne Coleman (with apologies to John Masefield)

I must go down to the mud again,
To the lonely field and the sky,
And all I ask is a wrgie truck
And a tractor to pull her by .
To the wellie way and the squelchy way,
By Cressy's waves a-sliding ,
With signs and radio and pump,
Down the water meadows gliding.
Then I'll sit down in the beer tent
With a muddy fellow-mover,
With a tall pint and tall tale
When the long slog's over

Originally written for FeStIves, the newsletter of the IWA National Festival in 2007.
