    This poem was written and narrated by The Bateleur, inspiring me to compose and produce this backing track in time for Hallowe'en.

    Cling Not To Fancies Daft
    written on 05 Apr 1972
    by Lynda Martin aka The Bateleur


    Goolcuddy winced and
    Shameless bred
    From knickers half-baked brown
    Hell thrawlled and staked
    The winning mob
    When putrid isles did frown.

    Ducks craven in a muggy lint
    Were sore afraid for flight
    As oil, tar, bracken, yonder quash
    Spoiled everything in sight

    Smog jested spoons in lunchroom works
    Made way from dust to dust
    Interred the germs from frothy clouds
    No elephants here with must.

    Exterior plight – no uses here
    For dwindling is life’s stage
    As Daniel’s 70th week comes nigh
    Poor Ignoram’s clique spews rage.

    Have forth for what I herein speak
    Deeps deeper here of aft
    Beaware, beaware in terms of this
    Cling not to fancies daft.
