Around the maypole
Purple, blue, orange, yellow, multifarious garlands
Dance the dance of May, skipping in, skipping out
The maypole dance, skipping, sipping innocence
Or did you even then
Have your eye on V’s tie dye
Around the rounder’s base
Serge blue knickers, plimsolls and tee shirts
Pitch, swing, run, catch, throw, run, gasp, grasp
Run the rounder, round the son’s of innocence
Or did you even then
Have your eye on Y’s breast and thigh
Around the fields of canvas
Purple, blue, orange, yellow, beads and bandanas
Strum, chord, drum, strum, chord again
Strum the summer sun, summer sun of innocence
Even then it did you
Filled your eye, that festival of flesh and rye
