[day 74]

*

When you went from Edinburgh to Aberdeen

You had to cross the water inbetween

So they built a bridge to take the strain

They built a bridge to take the train

They built a bridge to take the railway line

...A hundred years ago travelling north

You had to take the ferry to cross the Forth

And save us time.

So it's one coat of yellow and one coat of red

With the Ferth down below and the sky overhead

In six years or so when the painting's done

We can start again where the job was first begun...
