Oranges/Lemons

"Oranges and Lemons say the bells of St Clemens

You owe me five farthings say the bells of St Martins.

When will you pay me? say the bells of Old Bailey

When I am rich say the bells of Shoreditch.

When will that be? say the bells of Stepney

I do not know says the great bell of Bow

Here comes the candle to light you to bed

Here comes the chopper to chop off your head

Chip chop chip chop"

This has been in my head for the longest time. Stupid
children's rhyme. Now I'm starting to rhyme. Oh dear.


Am I okay? Do I need psychiatric help? Or is it just
society, trying to change me and mould me to their selfish
whims? Who knows. pce
