The Yorkshire Pudding Boat Songs by Ian McMillan Ian McMillan's association with The Shed goes back many years. Ian has collaborated with Simon Thackray on numerous 'projects' for TV and radio and live events. The Yorkshire Pudding Boat Race® is one of them... The Yorkshire Pudding Boat Songs by Ian McMillan Part 1 Back through the batter of time Back through the batter of a time that cracked like a cracked egg around then, around then... Back through the batter of time whisked through white clouds that bubble to the surface when a boiled egg breaks in a pan around then, around then, in a pan, in a pan Back through the batter of time, Time beaten like an egg Time battered in a pan Time whisked like a mixture of time and an egg around then, around then in a pan, in a pan, time and an egg time and an egg... Early people in the swamp that was Brawby in the early days looking from their houses to the pond that was Bob's or as we called him then: Bubb or as we called him then: Bubb or as we called it then: lake or as we called it then: lake Bubb's Lake in a storm, the most wonderful sight lightening jewelling the surface thunder visible in the darkness waves rising like egg-white waves falling like egg-yoke thunder crackling like an egg shell Bubb's Lake like a bowl in which batter was battered as the storm reached its height as the storm climbed its height for day after day the storm walked along its height... And in the middle of Bubb's Lake was the island now gone you won't see it in Bob's Pond, but Bubb's Lake had an island which the people called Sacred which the people called sacred and the island had a temple, a small wooden temple with a sloping roof, and small windows, and a door, a travelling door. © Ian McMillan 1999 (continued....)
