> SONG OF THE WIPER
> by W. H. Charnock
>
> Flip Flop, Flip Flop,
> Never falter, never stop,
> Through mist and mud and sleet and snow
> On and on and on I go,
> The same by night and the same by day,
> Chucking the raindrops out of the way;
> Call it an easy job but Lord,
> A chap gets stiff and a chap gets bored
> With the same old swish and the same old slop,
> Flip Flop, Flip Flop.
>
> Flip Flop, Flip Flop,
> Waiting for the rain to stop;
> Everything else has some sort of a range,
> The gearbox gets no end of a change,
> Carburettors choke and cough,
> The lights go on and the lights go off,
> Tyres can go to soft from hard,
> Even the spark can advance and retard,
> But I go on until I drop,
> Flip Flop, Flip Flop.
>
> If I might indulge in a skip and a hop
> Such as Flip Flop, Flipperty Flop,
> Or even the tiniest ghost of a skip
> Like Flop Flop, or Flip Flip,
> That at least would something be
> To break this dammed monotony,
> But never a chance, I keep on turning,
> Gears gone dry and winding burning,
> Til my armature goes pop,
> Flip Flop, Flip Flop.
