(false) spring assart

68

I wish I folded
like everyone else in H & E
I wasted my time levant & couchant
like the sunshine in H & E.
Here's a song about the sunshine
it did not reach everywhere the movement.
My life as a beginner
in the full sun making a new way,
champion & me,
through the complex
true history of the assarts.
When I awoke I was unfolded like sylvia in may,
a simple surface only
shiny, shiny.

That levant / couchant reminded me of Tommy Cooper's joke:

A policeman said to me 'Did you hear about the WPC who appeared in Playboy (or Health & Efficiency I guess would do)?'

I said 'Was she suspended?'

He said 'No. Laid out on a rug.'

oh hey Hay, now I'm reminded of Ice the Levant by Stump... the only other song I know by Stump has the refrain: "big bottom, swing big bottom"
