Little Red Tab

by Kate Nash


                                
Everybody took everything that they could 

and they

                                             
Made a little town, out of stones and out of wood, and they
                                
Made a little king, out of plasticine, and they
                                              
Threw the rules away, but they kept the wisdom in.
                                     
And all of the birds and the bees lived so peacefully.
                               
And all of the babies, they slept so, so gently.
Until..
                                                                    
Little Red Little Red Little Red Little Red Little Red Little Red Little 
       
Red Little Red 
                                                                 
Little Red Little Red Little Red Little Red Little Red Little Little red came knocking.
   
                                                                
Little garden how do I make your flowers grow, when I already do everything 
                                                           
that I know.I bring you sunshine and I bring you rain, but still you 

refrain.

                                 
All the other gardens are so full of flowers.
                                                              
They're so colourful yet I spend all these hours, trying to make you as
                  , ,    
 beautiful as them, but still you refrain.
