Inside the hornpipe

It starts off slow

We smile because we know

For now we’re safe.  The show though

Will soon start to go with a little more flow.

 

Back to the beginning

The tune starts going

More quickly. People start looking

Some even start clapping

In time and stamping.

 

We’re still smiling,

But back again to the beginning

It’s now about trying

To keep going

As people keep clapping, and stamping

And singing and pushing and speeding

And shouting.

 

And with one big flourish it’s over

We’ve done it again, it’s always a winner.
