STINKY THE DOLPHIN

Stinky the dolphin’s come to play

He washed up on the beach today,

And on the strand, he rots away,

Whiff, Whiff, Whiff, Whiff, Stinky.

Stinky the dolphin’s come to play.

He used to frolic in the waves

But that’s no way for a corpse to behave

So now he decomposes.

He used to click and squeak in the foam,

As all around the seas he’d roam

But above the tideline is his new home

He’s become a seagulls’ restaurant.

His bones are exposed as he turns to slime

He could outswim the tide, but he couldn’t beat time

And as I hold my nose, I wonder when I’m

Gonna be joining Stinky.

YOU CAN NO LONGER BE AS UNINVOLVED AS A TUNNELLING MOLE

It’s no good retreating

Into your shell like

An armadillo.

Shutting your small door

Or portillo, behind you

On the basis of some peccadillo

And sitting sipping the amontillado

Of which you are an afficionado

You can’t just shut yourself away in there,

You’ve get to out here.

Things are happening everywhere

Bif baf bof

It’s all going off

And it’ll come back down

Around all our ears, my dears.

Set get out of the cave Dave.

Get down off the hill Jill.

Get out of your shack Jack.

And back in the swim Jim.

You can no longer be as uninvolved

As a tunnelling mole.

So get out of your hole

Because worm eating is not the answer

Collective worm farming

Under democratic workers’ control

After the overthrow of world capitalism

Is.
