SCRUMPING!!!!
This time of the year a very British tradition takes placeWe call it scrumping , gathering wild fruit
Apples , pairs , cherry's , plumes
Children with mum can be seen , climbing upon
Walls to reach the heavily waited down branches
Or children shinning up trees where the fruit is higher
When all the lower down fruit already gathered in
As a child I went scrumping , now as a man I still do
When I was a child with my mates , we'd go over walls
In to gardens , raid the trees , oh what fun we had
Some times the pepole in the houses herd us came out
Chased us away , we'd byde our time , raide againe
Now I look for wild trees growing free , so many I find
Most healthy eating time of year.
Long live tradition I say!!
