and the chair is by the table
and the table’s in the room
and the room is in the house
and the house is in a yard
the yard is in a terrace
and the terrace on the street
the street leads to a road
the road’s on the estate
and all the roads will meet at an enormous roundabout
and the yard is by the hedge
and the hedge by the pavement
and the pavement by the grass
and the grass is on the verge
the verge becomes the gutter
and the gutter’s in the street
the street it has a name
the name’s on the estate
and all the names will meet at an enormous roundabout
and the net is in the goal
and the goal posts on the grass
and the grass is on the pitch
and the pitch is in a park
the park is on a footpath
that leads out to the street
the street it is a game
the game of the estate
and all the games will meet at an enormous roundabout
and the road runs past the park
and beside the roundabout
the swing is on the concrete
and the concrete on the grass
the grass is in the playground
and the playground in the park
the estate is a park
the park is an estate
and all the estates meet at an enormous roundabout
and a bottle’s on the table
and the table’s in the drive
and the drive’s beside the house
and the house beside the drive
and the driving roundabout
and the terror on the street
the street leads to a road
the roads on the estate
and all the roads will meet at an enormous roundabout
and the chair is by the table
and the table’s in the room
and the room is in the house
and the house is in a yard
the yard is in a terrace
and the terrace on the street
the street leads to a road
the road’s on the estate
and all the roads will meet at an enormous roundabout
