John Lennon - I sat Belonely:

I sat belonely down a tree, humbled fat and small.
A little lady sing to me I couldn't see at all.

I'm looking up and at the sky,
to find such wondrous voice.
Puzzle puzzle, wonder why, I hear but have no choice.

'Speak up, come forth, you ravel me', I potty menthol shout.
'I know you hiddy by this tree'. But still she won't come out.

Such softly singing lulled me sleep, an hour or two or so
I wakeny slow and took a peep and still no lady show.

Then suddy on a little twig I thought I see a sight,
A tiny little tiny pig, that sing with all it's might.

'I thought you were a lady'. I giggle, - well I may,
To my surprise the lady, got up - and flew away.

the end

Really, quite the poet he was... yup, can't quite believe how long it's been since John died... I remember being at home watching the telly and hearing this...

i have it on a scratchy old record i bought as a child - nice to see some of his nonsense is up on youtube - his books were sort of overrated - so now they're underrated!

Me and my hussy - we have that book of strange (and beautiful) poems and writings of Mr. Lennon - and WE LOVE IT!!!!!
it was by the way translated into russian in absolutely great way and it still serves us as a catchphrase book!!!!

Those books are great!:))

BTW - LOL! - 'hussy' is British slang for a whore. (!!!)

I was about to say this sounded like a song, beautiful lyrics. Then I realized it kind of was.

no... not a song, it's a nonsense poem from John's book :))
