DILLY DILLY DIMPLE
Dilly Dilly Dimple
Sat upon a tree
Called to a passing blackbird
‘Come and stay with me.’
‘I’m bound for over yonder.’
The bird cried out with glee.
‘I can’t be always silly,
Like Dilly on a tree.’
Dilly only waved his hand
And laughed so much in pain.
‘He will be back, I’m certain sure
When it begins to rain.’
Paul Dominic Gray 9th December 1971
