Poem performed and recorded by poet William Bealby-Wright (Barrow Poets) of Isle of Man
Possibly written by Paddy Roberts, although I have seen it attributed to Anon

The Barking Creek Bell Ringers bell it was rung
When the fog hung down thick on the water
but its not over Barking Creek Bell my songs sung
But the Barking Creek Bell Ringers daughter

..The octopus turned inside out with a gulp
But Snout became even distraugher
And he sliced them all up, and he beat to a pulp
the barking Creek Bell Ringers daughter

it goes on forever!
