about

This is a collaboration with Kate Williams. She wrote the poem 'Wellington" and I added music.

lyrics

The wind howled loud on that rainy night
The clouds hung even lower
And my little shed was sheltering
Far more that just my mower

When I went out in the morning it was chaos everywhere
I opened up my garden shed and gave way to despair
Boxes toppled, shelving scattered
Tools lay littered, roughly strewn
But oh tragedy of tragedies, my brand new bright blue boots

Yes my wellingtons are well up torn with marks of tooth and claw
My brand new bright blue wellingtons are wellingtons no more

They were waterproof and shockproof
Nice and snug not too tight
But alas they were not fox-proof
On that wild and windy night

Oh that vicious vulpine vandal
When I think if it I blubber
My brand new bright blue wellingtons are chewed up bits of rubber
Yes my wellingtons are well up torn with marks of tooth and claw
My brand new bright blue wellingtons are wellingtons no more
