James Jefferys - Green Green

The sun does arise and make merry the skies
All the small songs are now larger ones
As the village green changes disguise

Every house has its own epithet
The flagstone shivers under a newly delivered
Bottle of milk on every step

The fog hung down
Like the cassocks in the vestry
But it's moved to the town
And from here is lifted

The green Green yawns on this floral morning
Patchouli oil,
Elderflower cordial
And England is born again

The moss on the graves shakes at the bells
As do the birch outside of the church
The frame is better than the picture itself

Oils drips off the postman's chain
And messily muddles all of the puddles
Down Vicarage Lane, from last year's rain

The fog hung down
Like the cassocks in the vestry
But it's moved to the town
And from here is lifted

The green Green yawns on this floral morning
Patchouli oil,
Elderflower cordial
And England is born again

But a rock's throw away
And up in my room
The gramophone belches
Its last scratchy tone
The needle is blunt,
The power is dead.
And with an impolite jolt
I fall off the bed....
