Round By the Polywood

A song written by Screginald the Screachy, with music by Nota of Anda.

The song has thirty three verses of varying length, structure, and thematic content. Few sing the whole thing at once, but each verse tends to be very popular at different occasions.

The second verse is most often sung at birthdays. The fourth verse is common at weddings. The tenth verse is the primary song sung on the first and last day of school.

Perhaps the most popular stanza is the two line first verse, sung when waiting. It's rare to go a day without hearing at least one person singing, humming, or whistling a fragment of this tune.
