For the ignorant boy

For the ignorant boy
It was easy to kill
The creature that sat
On the top of the hill

There in the grass
With his shoe he did smash
The creature lay squashed
Life, then death in a flash

God made the earth
And the creatures and he
Will understand why
The boy had to be

Wilful, destructive
To kill as he had
The ignorant boy
The more ignorant dad

At Pitstone
The ignorant boy he is there
Killing the creatures
And causing despair

Threatening us
As our finance is small
And our backs are of course
Right up to the wall

We though have prayer
We have poems and we
Hope that John Gummer
Can now oversee

Refer to the ode
Of the ignorant boy
And just give us back
What was ours to enjoy.
