Big Drum for sale or rent

Pegleg Unicorn have a rather large vintage marching drum - timber frame. As they are now far too old & feeble to hoist the damn thing aloft it's time to pass it to a new home.
Would suit clog morris &c or provide a conversation piece in any folkie's lounge.
Will accept any resonable offer (except Joe). Buyer collects (from Bishops Stortford UK area)
Interested parties can IM me or mail suggers@beerfordbury.

Big drum for sale or rent
(Morris bells fifty pence)
Can't lift it any more
It's too damn' big to store

Ten years we've humped it round
boom bang, just hear the sound
Loud was the noise it made
Now I wear a hearing aid.

Young I could carry it
Old it just droops a bit
One day it drooped some more
Big drum caught on the floor

Drum rolled off down the hill
Drummer strapped to it still
Drum worked like rolling pin
Drummer now tall and thin

Big drum for rent or sale
Tiger skin (minus tale)
this to us all must come
Two sticks and Zimmer drum

Who-hoo!!!! Thank you s&r youve immortilised the damn thing. We can put the price up now, as it's famous ....

We'll run the ditty up for Moreton (if thats OK with you) !!!!

PS Don't knock the rent - its a good muffler. Plays well with Mr Sugden's patent chicken wire bodrhan, which shares the principle.

I recently saw a drum that is so big that it is hauled on a trailer!!
It is actually large enough for people to get inside of!!
is that song sung to the tune of :
trailer for sale or rent
room to let fifty cents,
I'm a man of means by no means,
king of the road---by Roger Miller!?
