Sprout And The Bean

I  slept  all  day

Awoke  with  distaste

And  I  railed

And  I  raved

That  the  difference  between

The  sprout  and  the  bean

It  is  a  golden  ring

It  is  a  twisted  string

And  you  can  ask  the  counsellor

And  you  can  ask  the  king

And  I'll  say  the  same  thing

And  it's  a  funny  thing

Should  we  go  outside

Should  we  go  outside

Should  we  break  some  bread

Are  you  interested

And  as  I  said

I  slept  as  though  dead

Dreaming  seamless  dreams

Of  lead

When  you  go  away

I  am  big-boned  and  fey

In  the  dust  of  the  day

In  the  dirt  of  the  day

And  Danger!  Danger!

Drawing  near  them  was  a  white  coat

And  Danger!  Danger!

Drawing  near  them  was  a  broad  boat

And  the  water!  Water!

Running  clear  beneath  a  white  throat

And  the  hollow  chatter  of  the  talking  of  the  Tadpoles

Who  know  the  outside

Should  we  go  outside

Should  we  break  some  bread

Are  you  interested
