I sent my 2003 poem to Rockin Robin Rocks as a challenge to see if shecould actually write music to it..astonishly she did and sent a private vid back..which I had a look at and tweaked it..adding more variables and adding extra bits..it's still a bit rambling but that's OK. The poem is based on the nursery rhyme "Who killed Cock Robin?" but I changed the concept from Murder to birth..I wrote it on Jazzy's second birthday and though it would be good to have her sing some bits. The lyric is as follows:

Who'll wield the forceps? ... 
"I'll wield the forceps" said the crab 
With pincer grip and armour plate, 
Sideways step, peculiar gait, 
I'll prise the rock and filter through, 
I've done it before, I know what to do. 
"I'll wield the forceps" said the crab. 

Who'll be the wet nurse? 
"I'll be the wet nurse" said the rain. 
With my massive breasts, all fluffy and round, 
I'll shower and soak and drench the ground, 
I'll feed the soil and quench the thirst, 
For I am full and fit to burst. 
"I'll be the wet nurse" said the rain. 

Who'll be the Nanny? 
"I'll be the Nanny" said the toad. 
Cats-cradle with the pond-weed, 
An ever widening grin, 
With entertaining bobbles, and tadpoles on the skin, 
Sporting about with alll the garden gnomes. 
Impersonating frogs. 
Hiding under stones. 
"I'll be the Nanny" said the toad. 

Who'll change the nappies? 
"I'll change the nappies" said the Oak. 
Standing strong and silent, 
Staunch and stout. 
Into each and every crevice my bindweed will about. 
Tending each and every acorn, 
A shelter from the storm. 
A hiding place for Princes, 
And some logs to keep you warm. 
"I'll change the nappies" said the Oak 

Who'll sing the lullaby? 
"I'll sing the lullaby" said the wind, 
I'll chime down the chimney, 
I'll whistle through the trees, 
I'll whip up the water and rustle the leaves. 
I'll blow down the allies I'll pluck all the strings. 
I'll whisper the melody and make the bells ring. 
"I'll sing the lullaby" said the wind
