A NEW PRAISE SONG FROM BISHOP SMIRK (at least I think that's what it is)

Hi! It's Smirkie, the Mugwumpist.

Us poets depend so much on inspiration, don't you agree? I been trying to write a cool praise song for our Winter Season Praise Service. Trying for a week! Then I went up the Tor for some serious puffing (heh!), and the good weed brought me this.

Cool?

But I can't think of a good title - maybe "YEAH!" - can anyone help? But don't get snide - be positive! And don't get all technical about tenses. "When the creed and the colour and the name WON'T matter WERE you there?" is ok - everybody loves singing it.


I saw a man sitting by a tree.
Yeah, I saw a man sitting by a tree.
He's sitting by a tree
And that man is you and me!
I saw a man sitting by a tree.

I saw a man looking at a rope.
Yeah, I saw a man looking at a rope.
He's looking at that rope
Cuz he ain't got any hope.
I saw a man looking at a rope.

I saw a man standing on a chair
Yeah, I saw a man standing on a chair
He's standing on a chair
And he's reaching in the air.
I saw a man standing on a chair.

I saw a man tying rope to bough
Yeah, I saw a man tying rope to bough
He's tying rope to bough,
And I think he's ready now.
I saw a man tying rope to bough.

I saw a man kicking at a chair
Yeah, I saw a man kicking at a chair.
He's kicking at the chair
Now he's swinging in the air
I saw a man swinging in the air.

I saw a man hanging from a tree
Yeah, I saw a man hanging from a tree
He's hanging from a tree
And that man is you and me
I saw a man hanging from a tree.

Why was that man hanging in a tree?

Because of society's cruelty!

So let's go into the street,

Smile at people that we meet,

And show them just how happy they can be!

More to come! YAY, as we say.
