about

Poem by E O Parrott set to music and performed by David W Solomons.
The poem is a parody of the poem "The naming of parts" by Henry Reed.

lyrics

Tonight we shall have the mending of fuses
Yesterday we had cleaning of waste pipes
and tomorrow mornng 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
Butr would have saved an hour
If we had borrowed from next door in the first place

Tonight - after the flash! - we shall have the 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 Electicity board

Tomorrow we shall have the mending of fuses again
For tonight we shall make do with candles
