where

where

where does the sky come from

do the clouds go round and around

is this a flat earth idea

or is there a cloud factory

in a toy land somewhere 

somewhere

where does the light come from

each and every dawn

does the sun go around

or the earth go around

with this idea around my head

sunset in curlers 

and chubby cheeks of joy

where do the green shoots come from 

springing out of the ground 

as the seasons go around and around

is there a shuttle cock

straight through the earth

and why is birth so full of mirth

and where do babies come from

and why is your tummy now so round

as i run around and around you

asking silly questions

that i know the answers of

but i am not at all sure

if i want a brother or a sister

or a puppy now that you are asking

and where does where come from

asks an empty little head

so full of around and around about it

is time you grew up lad

put all your funny little ideas

upon a bonfire of joyous tears

for it’s time you grew up lad

and be glad you’re no longer glad
