Round and round the garden
I would like to reciprocate with myself
Pats on the back – what else?
Round and round the garden goes the reciprocator
One step – two steps – thirty steps later
Building up speed as I go along
Into the mouth goes the Fisherman’s friend
Giving a false sense of extra air at each bend
Round past the flower pot and the sitting stones
Ten more blades of grass trampled in my advance
As the new kind of lawnmower continues to prance
This is a mini world it would seem
Variations on a theme – as you reciprocate my dream
That pretends I’m out and about and satisfied too
Secretly I harbour dastardly plans
To go and demand
That the coffee shop opens for me
So I can have my coffee-card stamped
And sup leisurely
My friend has gone to a foreign country
It might as well be – it’s his back garden for tea
Never the twain shall meet he and I
Until this obnoxious storm has gone
And we all stand together no longer forlorn
So if you get a chance to scream
Go to bed instead – for another dream
Don’t despair we’ve all been there
Pick someone and offer some care
Plus – go round and round the garden
like the teddy bear
