Here is the NEWS
It's spreading fast, north, east, west, south,
here is the NEWS by word of mouth,
carried by pigeon and gossiping rook
to saint and sinner, to priest and crook,
to postie and builder, to children in school,
to doctor and nurse, to scholar and fool.
It's spreading fast, north, east, west, south,
here is the NEWS by word of mouth,
spread by sparrow and carrier crow:
the wind will turn and we might have snow.
