This little ditty was inspired by a Facebook status update of a friend, for clear reasons:
(to the tune of any bluegrass song you like)
Oh we found a dead snake in the tank
It’s really rather rank!
We found we were drinking water
When we really shouldn’t oughta!
(chorus)
Oh that wasn’t all we found in our water tank
There also was a dog, a possum and a gypsy.
Who do we think we really should thank?
Well I think the gypsy was rather tipsy.
And the dog was chasing a frog.
But that possum – he was just flotsam!
(chorus)
Oh the dead snake in the tank
It’s really rather rank!
The gypsy there was tipsy, the dog chased a frog
But I’m here to tell you
The possum was just flotsam!
(ta diddly a da – da da!)
