Changing their scraps
Sorting through pictures
Strewn in their laps.
Atwells and soldiers
Baskets of flowers
Clowns, cats and trumpets
Ladies in bowers,
Bridegrooms in top-hats
Highlander Flings
Fat sonsy cherubs
Sprouting blue wings.
Great angels, small ones
Got to arrange
Five Wee for a Big
As the rate of exchange.
Heads low in cahoots
There's a bargain to seal
Swopping and judging
To reach a fair deal.
Serious business
Trade to be done
You wouldnae go-thinking
They're just having fun.
