You know for 80 long years have I trod this green and pleasant land Seen many different countries and cultures Experienced the deserts searing heat And felt the cruel bite of the arctic wind I'm, not a person who scares easily For age and experience allows me to reach a logical conclusion For most of what happens in life But one thing does scare me, something I have no explanation for It comes in dead of night and I believe has no earthly form Gollum like it slithers under worktops and into locked cupboards And then into my washing machine And steals my ****** socks

It's A Mystery
You know for 80 long years have I trod this green and pleasant land Seen many different countries and cultures Experienced the deserts searing heat And felt the cruel bite of the arctic wind I'm, not a person who scares easily For age and experience allows me to reach a logical conclusion For most of what happens in life But one thing does scare me, something I have no explanation for It comes in dead of night and I believe has no earthly form Gollum like it slithers under worktops and into locked cupboards And then into my washing machine And steals my ****** socks
