October begin me with much blunders... dank n cold, dank n cold
Here's something to wire back my mind to the original tangle...

Swamps of Home

I come from the land of the foggy, foggy dew.

Ooh-ooh-ooh! Ooh-ooh-ooh! Ooh-ooh-ooh!

Where walking through the meadow in the morning is like walking through glue!

The swamps of home are brushed with green and gold at break of day.

The swamps of home are lovely to behold from far away.

fdfd

In my soul is the beauty of the bog, in my memory the magic of the mud.

I know that blood is thicker than water but the swamps of home are thicker than blood.

f

Where e'er I roam my heart grows dank and cold,

my face grows gray when shadows fall and I hear the call…

of the swamps of home.

f

I hear them calling me now, calling me back, calling me Winnifred, Winnifred, Winnifred, Winnifred, who do you think you are? Girl of the swamp

You've gone to far!

Maid of the marshland, give up the struggle! Listen to the voice of the swamp;

gluggle-uggle-uggle

f

Where e'er I roam.

The whips of fate may smart, but deep down in my heart

one thought will abide and will ne'er be forgotten, though I search far and wide there is no land as rotten…

d

As the swamps of home.

"Once upon a Mattress" is such a quirky adaptation fr "the Princess and the Pea"... I'm an instant convert ! ... i promised to write a spoof on "Rapunzel" for E'ca to illustrate... but... can't seemed to squeeze any sauce out yet...

wanna go back to the "Swamps of Home"
