A Song Composed about the Alcohol Factory
“Ye farmers all both great and small pray listen to my rhyme”
Ye Farmers all both great and small pray listen to my rhymeA monster from the jumble has got to Carn townAn elephant of strangers form, a picture for the screen,A freak, a curiosity, a mamel painted greenThough hungry and hard to feed, he's not choosing with his grub For what he wants at every meal is just the humble spudYou need not bring the choicest one, the champion or the queenHe'll eat the brock and scaby one, a score whole tons his daily feedO! what a devouring beast, with loads of maulted barley and quite a lot of yeastThe kindly farmers of the North wont let the monster starf,They'll bring the spuds in lorry loads(continues on next page)- Informant
