TheΒ WoosieΒ fest
SoΒ theΒ WoosiesΒ wentΒ toΒ Pickalot
ForΒ theirΒ greatΒ annualΒ Fest
AndΒ allΒ agreedΒ Β (likeΒ everyΒ year)
ThisΒ oneΒ wasΒ theΒ best!
WoosiesΒ cameΒ fromΒ acrossΒ the land
TheyΒ towed,Β someΒ fast,Β some slow
OneΒ WoosieΒ towedΒ toΒ aΒ full stop
PetrolΒ intoΒ DieselΒ doesnβtΒ go.
SoonΒ banners,Β flagsΒ andΒ prettyΒ lights
DeckedΒ awningsΒ andΒ vanΒ walls
ButΒ WoosiesΒ all;Β weΒ stood agog
AtΒ DaveβsΒ poleΒ andΒ coloured balls.
WeΒ greetedΒ WoosiesΒ new and old,
AndΒ kindlyΒ thankedΒ ourΒ Sprocket
ForΒ arrangingΒ suchΒ aΒ superΒ Fest
AndΒ showingΒ offΒ hisΒ Rocket.
OffΒ toΒ Whitby,Β forΒ theΒ day,
WeΒ wentΒ onΒ theΒ Steam rail train
WeΒ shouldΒ haveΒ leftΒ SirΒ KevΒ behind
SoggyΒ WoosiesΒ inΒ theΒ theΒ rain.
ButΒ KevβsΒ forceΒ wasΒ clearlyΒ spent
AsΒ brightΒ sunshineΒ didΒ abound
AndΒ onΒ aΒ sunnyΒ Saturday
OurΒ NewΒ WoosieΒ KingΒ wasΒ crowned.
OurΒ farmerΒ kingΒ wasΒ soon installed,
WithΒ crookΒ andΒ scarecrowΒ crown
AΒ toastΒ ofΒ meadΒ andΒ Buckfast wine
AndΒ aΒ slapΒ upΒ mealΒ wentΒ down.
TheΒ WoosieΒ festΒ isΒ atΒ anΒ end
NextΒ yearΒ joinΒ usΒ ifΒ youΒ will.
TheΒ timeΒ andΒ placeΒ toΒ beΒ announced,
By Good King GAFFERBILL.
