Sir Walk-a-lot
Virginia Salter

Come and meet Sir Walk-a-lot
He ate some beans and old shallot
Then traveled he to Camelot
Until he found the perfect spot
To have a spot of tea.

Then traveled on to Babylon
And rested on a new mown lawn
Until the night reached early dawn
And all the salmon went to spawn
Then he came back home to me.

Now mind you, I was filled with dread
At what may be inside his head
So I asked him to leave instead
Or else we might all end up dead
Beside the likes of he.

He gathered all his mustered power
Cajoled me well with lovely flower
Swept me away with words of power
Minute by minute and hour by hour
Until he courted me.

Helplessly I gave my hand
My knees were weak, I could not stand
He lifted me and crossed the land
And with his love forever banned
Somewhere beyond the sea.
