A Little Ray of Sunshine
A little ray of sunshine
Came creeping softly slow,
Alighting up the knighton
Like raindrops made of snow.
When from a Kevin corner
A belly hump drew near,
Quipping from his teeth hole
And singing from his ear.
Great Bratsby in a lamppost
Joined hands with Wilsons tan
And only Devy’s armcake
Could lift their spirits, man.
‘We cannot leave our Bedders,’
A voice did cordall out.
‘He’s part of all of us, yer know,
The sleepy little lout.’
Big Johnny turning tango,
Advanced in quick retreat
And gave us all direction
about where we should meet.
Duff Bryan with his knitters block
Drew matching sticks at dawn
And promised everyone a hat
Made out of twigs and corn.
And so we gather tightly
This merry band, this we.
We shall not falter lightly
In darkness club or cree.
