Nadia was an inquisitive, hopeful child
Running through bushes, barefoot and wild
Once went skipping in the kitchen, smelling of fish
Her mother was startled , breaking a dish
The young woman sighed, and they went for a walk.
Bought peppermint stick ice cream then sat down by the docks.
Turning to Nadia, she pointed to a darker spot
"See that whirlpool, it does not go where it ought
It flows from this dimension, into another
A vast world that holds every kind of blunder
Two headed serpents and pigs with eight eyes,
Birds swim in their seas and mops fly in their skies
Their cities are full of the rash and unwise,
Bad children who destroy things, and crooks who tell lies
If you continue to be careless and break my pots
There is room for you in the Gorbal Vats"
