You Must Think I'm Daft, And Came

down the Dearne on a digestive,

up the Thames on a Bourbon,

down the Sheaf on a Garibaldi,

up the Don on a Flapjack.

 

down the Tyne on a Brandy Snap,

up the Wear on a Hobnob,

down the Severn on a Ginger Nut,

up the Lune on a Custard Creme.

 

down the Styx on a sunflower seed bun,

up the Lethe on a lemongrass stick,

down the Rhine on a Raisin Slice,

up the Seine on a Belgian Pancake.

It's great to take common local idioms and stretch them.a bit.
