I shall hear no more that barking sound
That regular Bark Ode
Of Tinker, whose chimes like
Bells in Church tolled down the road
Every time a child walked passed
On his way to school
Or at an unsuspecting walker
Who walked too close to his window, the fool!
Well no more shall I see his face
Grinning back at me
Dark and imposing
Some inner ferocity
Like an Egyptian God
Dog headed deity
Standing out of his sarcophagus
Oh Mummy! I need a wee!
But he really is charming
Yes, what a merry soul is he!
Cola black, soul black
Darkness found a light
In the bright-eyed Becky
A star of fairy night
Sparkling like a sparkler
Fluffy, buoyant woman
Exuberant, enthusiastic
Bubbly and fun
And so they were together
And Tinker was no longer glum
He and her together
All was right under the sun
Find shoe box by the sea
Let the sea dogs howl
On the island of the canary
Where the kissing winds are foul
But dunes in June are wonderful
Fundamental abundiflora all
And Just look to the summer wall
Of heat and sun
Let's not think of winter
Let's not contemplate the fall
Adam and his apple
are far from it all
He's now got his mother
She's got her baby back
And all the seaweed in the sea
Could never re-shuffle her pack
