So, here’s today’s little ditty.
(I don’t know whether folks outside the UK would know what a Chelsea Bun is. I love them, they are extremely yum, and they go very well with the mid-morning coffee. Especially if you’re at Kew Gardens… except they changed the caterers in the cafes and restaurants there a few years ago and they stopped doing them … boo… )
Two Chelsea Buns - A A J Russe
We ask you to stand by
Watch over our cares
We go to purchase
Some apples some pears
Fresh coffee grounds
Two Chelsea Buns
But when we return
We find all undone
The cradle lies empty
There’s blood on the floor
The foxes have been here
And the cat from next door
The grass seed all spilt
The mousetraps all sprung
We trusted your judgement
But find you have none
Guilty as charged
Is that all you can say
There’s only one of me
I’ve been busy all day
We trusted your judgement
But find you have none
So you’ll have no share
Of the two Chelsea Buns

Great story line - has a true troubadour feel about it! Love it - kind of dark. I have had the pleasure of a Chelsea bun here in Canada - yup, extremely yummy. Very creative song. I'm listening to a great concert of all your songs ...loving it.

I'm a little perplexed at the narrative, but oh what a great narrative it is. That second verse paints a pretty vivid picture, although I'm a little unsure that being denied pastries is an apt consequence, but then Ive never had a Chelsea Bun.

How come I feel like I'm back in the Court of Henry VIII, with a merry minstrel strumming his stuff ..... love it ....
