Oh Emerald Leaves
Turn your backs to the breeze
Sheltered under your canopy
Wild creatures are busy.
Small pig things with small feet
Rustle by in a heartbeat
Birds two of a feather
Nest upright together
Twig branch to the tree trunk
Grow anew from the plant junk
Feast on dead leaves to grow more
Sun sandwich with forest floor
Small pig things with small feet
Rustle by in a heartbeat
Birds two of a feather
Nest upright together
Rainfall in a grey town
Stabs sharp as it beats down
Harsh feeling and harsh sound
Angry shots from the sky’s frown
Big people with big feet
Rush past in a heartbeat
Girls two of a feather
Walk closely together
Oh life in the treescape
Top to toe in my dreamscape
Worlds apart from my winter
Be my summer sister.

Oh metal and stone
Grit and ancient bones
Flowing under the ground
Splashy watery sound
Mirroring the tapestry
Of human activity
Where we all up above
Live, argue and love
Tunnelling through the rock below
Rodent fodder is rife
Waster and water and energy flow
Traffic of human life
Deep down in the gloom
What is it you see?
White monster of doom
Yuk, yucky yucky
Everything's wrong with the waterways
Interrupted flow
Clogging the city's arteries
Trouble down below
Fatberg, fatberg.
Deep down in the gloom
What is it you see?
White monster of doom
Yuk, yucky yucky
Fatberg, fatberg.
