 the gypsy poet

monkeys hump















SultryRose's Signatures

Art Work © By:Jessica Galbreth






They rode o'er the monkeys hump
where the heather grew so mean
where the warblers sung their songs
where trees grew tall and lean

they gathered all their children round
all their nippers on display
they rode through rossmore common grounds
where the masters gave them pay

the hills were alder berry and the roads were sandy trails
there were lizards in the grassy mounds and water in the wells
the sun came through each morning at the start of every day
when the gaffers worked the land and the tinkers came to stay

the springs were rich and running free
with water fresh to drink
 where molly wore her shawl
where the wise man sat and thinked

the woods were full of blossoms
the Poppy's rich and red
where old Augustus drew his Art
rambling roses round each bend

the nippers ran barefooted then
where the cuckoos came to call
one eye on the factory clock
another at the door
