HUMOUR

St Ives Festival Song

by Anne Coleman

Some young WRGie volunteers were camping with friends,
On the banks of the gentle Great Ouse,
When down in a torrent came the rains without end,
And turned all the watermeadows to Ooze.
They slipped and they floundered, they churned up the mud
They laid down a yellow brick road.
But they started a fashion for wellies with passion,
And turned to each other and said…

Altogether now- one last time!

Mud! Mud! glorious mud!
Nothing quite like it to follow a flood!
So follow me follow
Down to the meadow
And there let us wallow in glorious mud.

Originally written for FuStIer, the spoof edition of the newsletter at the IWA "National" in 2007.
