In a mirror, dimly

One of the dominant things people seem to be searching Google for, and finding my website as a result of, are song lyrics. Can I help that I get a song stuck in my brain for hours / days at a time? Can I help that posting it seems to help? I offer you the latest song which has been with me for literally weeks now:

Green and Yellow

Where have you been this day,
Hen-ery my son?
Where have you been this day
My pretty one?

In the woods, In the woods
Oh, Mother do be quick, ‘cos I’m
feeling very sick
And I want t’lay me down and die.

What did you in them woods,
Hen-ery my son?
What did you in them woods
My pretty one?

Ate some eels, Ate some eels,
Oh, Mother do be quick, ‘cos I’m
feeling very sick
And I want t’lay me down and die.

What colour was them eels
Hen-ery my son?
What colour was them eels
My pretty one?

GREEN AND YELLER! (said with repulsion)
GREEN AND YELLER! (even worse)
Oh, mother do be quick, ‘cos I’m
feeling very sick
And I want t’lay me down and die.

Them’s eels was snakes,
Hen-ery my son… (etc)

Oh, dear Mother… (etc)

What colour flowers
Hen-ery my son?… (etc)

Green and Yeller…

Appologies due to Henry, a friend of mine, who I have to admit brings the song to mind when I meet him!
