Song: To see on fire a boiling pot, that is the news...

by John Wilson . A Catch for Three voices , in G major
6/4

Text:

To see on fire a boiling pot,
that is the news we do not need,
a sloven’s nose that’s full of snot,
that’s no news, ’tis so agreed,
but to see a man knit a turd into a true lover’s knot,
oh that’s news to laugh at indeed.
