Have I ever told you,<\/p>\n

the truth behind Mason,<\/p>\n

How he ventured to Waterloo,<\/p>\n

and washed his hands in a basin?<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I think I have not,<\/p>\n

so gather around,<\/p>\n

and I’ll tell you what<\/p>\n

Mason did while he was still sound.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Mason was a tired old man,<\/p>\n

who loved black shoelaces,<\/p>\n

and lived in a big, bulky white van,<\/p>\n

which doubled as multiple workplaces.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

One day, he decided,<\/p>\n

that he’d travel to Waterloo,<\/p>\n

rather unguided,<\/p>\n

and brought with him two black leather shoes.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Of course, he told us,<\/p>\n

he’d like to buy a washbasin,<\/p>\n

and believed nothing finer than Waterloo would rust,<\/p>\n

and so he traveled to Waterloo, and ate nothing but raisins!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

And so now, we come,<\/p>\n

to the truth behind Mason,<\/p>\n

he had a rather green thumb!<\/p>\n

And so he purchased a field,<\/p>\n

planted good vine,<\/p>\n

and waited for what it would yield!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
