I am the very model of an isolating Morris man

Watch on YouTube

(Yes, that's me!)


I am the very model of an isolating Morris man
I'm following the guidance of the doctors and the Boris man
(A rhyme that's truly awful, and I tender my apologies)
But dancing during lockdown calls for novel methodologies.
With fellow dancers far away, and limits on our travelling,
We're working hard to keep the Morris spirit from unravelling,
And after this is over, all our efforts terpsichorean
Will hopefully be studied by a future folk historian.

And, yes, I am a woman – thank you, listeners, for raising it
But "morris lady" wouldn't fit, not even by rephrasing it,
And so I am a "Morris Man" in verse, and also chorus in -
I am the female model of the isolating Morris man.
