There was an old country that swallowed some wood;
We should recall it had loads of wood!
It swallowed the wood to catch the coal,
It swallowed the coal to catch the steel,
It swallowed the steel to catch the oil,
It swallowed the oil to catch more coal,
It swallowed more coal to create The Cloud,
That squiggled and jiggled and tickled its crowds.
It swallowed The Cloud to catch AI;
I don’t know why it swallowed AI – perhaps it’ll die
@urlyman Hello How are you doing
…There was an old country that shat on its work force.
It’s screwed, of course

Props to Burl Ives

I have a feeling that Pete Seeger would approve! 😂
@5ciFiGirl gosh, high praise! thank you :)
Some of my earliest memories are of listening to a Pete Seeger tape of children's songs. So i couldnt help but hear this in his voice. And it seemed very fitting! 😎
…There are lots of versions of the Burl Ives song, but this one has resonance because it was animated and produced in the year of my birth, 1964 (by the National Film Board of Canada).
And I’ve been catching flies while cycling since the mid 70s. No horses swallowed yet

…The Muppets version is pretty good too 🐸
