Inspired by “London Bridge Is Falling Down” -
A 17th century English nursery rhyme and singing game
The Kingdom's Bridge has come unwound.
Unwound. Unbound.
The Kindom's Bridge is falling down.
My Fair Lady -
The Kingdom’s ways have become unsound.
Unwound. Unbound.
The Kingdom's ways have gone aground.
The Kingdom’s trust cannot be found -
The Bridge is burning to the ground.
Embound. Astound.
The Bridge is burning to the ground.
Can anyone hear the sound resound -
The Bridge is turning upside round.
Redound. Around.
The Bridge is turning upside downed.
Can someone spare a final stound -
The Kingdom’s sound corrupt by swound.
Oh! swound. Oh! swound.
The Kingdom’s swound is all abound.
What to make of this new swound sound -
The Kingdom is sinking all around.
Aground. Unwound.
The Kingdom is sinking all around.
Who will be the Kingdom’s crowned -
The Kingdom’s people are gowned in swound.
Unsound in swound. Drowned in swound.
The Kingdom’s people seek unswound ground.
Where hounds run free. Where sounds abound -
The Kingdom’s pound so Sure will mound.
Surround the swound. Enwound. Unbound.
The Kingdom’s pound will soon rebound.
Praise Kingdom builders on profound round ground -
The Bridge surrounds all time compound
Swound outbound. Swound unfound.
Who will be the new-found crowned -
My Fair Lady -
