Sprinkler
It might have been a blast
It could have been such fun
But no-ones gonna reminisce
for twenty twenty-one
No sooner had we got around
To last years sausage rolls
The government decided it
would fill us full of holes
First we had to have a jab
To save our poor grandmother
But then we’re told we had to have
