Poem by EO Parrott being a parody of "The Naming of Parts" by Henry Reed
Music composed and performed by David W Solomons
published under an agreement with the estate of E O Parrott
Tonight we shall have
the mending of fuses
Yesterday we had
cleaning of waste pipes
and tomorrow morning
we shall have horrors
we dare not imagine
But Tonight
we shall have
the mending of fuses
For convenience,
fuse boxes are located
in the darkest and
most inaccessible
corners of the domicile
Groping among spiders' webs,
I know whichever I choose first
....
The one I wanted
will be last!
To effect fuse mending properly
one needs fuse wire
We ought to have
had some somewhere
But would have
saved an hour
If we had borrowed
from next door
in the first place
Tonight
- after the flash! -
we shall have
mending of fuses again
After the mending of plugs
Which we could do
if we could
remember the wiring
Which we could do
if we could find
the diagram
from the Electricity board
Tomorrow we shall have
mending of fuses
again
For tonight
we shall make do
with candles.
