The flies hum in the long grass
You have taken off your shoes
and stockings
You have tucked your skirt up
You stand in the water
It is delicious
It is cool and pure
You will fill your pails soon
And trudge them back to the big house
But for now
you have time
to dream
of Boudicca
who fought the Romans here
and turned the clear water
red

The celebrity of these waters being confined chiefly to its own immediate vicinity for a number of years; the present proprietor has thought proper to give a more extensive publicity to the existence of a nostrum provided by Nature through Divine Providence, approaching nearest that great desideratum of scientific men and mankind in general, throughout all ages; namely an UNIVERSAL MEDICINE. The many cures yearly performed by these waters does not come within the limits of a handbill, but suffice it to say, that here, upon trial the sufferer finds a speedy and sure relief from INDIGESTION and its train, HABITUAL COSTIVENESS, the extensive range of LIVER COMPLAINTS, DROPSY in its early stages, GLANDULAR OBSTRUCTIONS and that bane of life, SCROPHULA; for ERUPTIONS ON THE FACE OR SKIN its almost immediate efficacy needs but a trial.

87 years since she last broke her banks
163 years since Bazalgette buried her
172 years since she exploded in the storm
238 years since the rioters burned her prison down
239 years since she first carried convicts to the colonies
282 years since the giant pig emerged
309 years since Christopher Preston was killed by his bear
352 years since the fire took everything
465 years since the Bridewell women were first whipped as whores
644 years since Duke Robert fired his arrows across her
728 years since the friars incense could no longer mask her putrid stench
952 years since the Normans sailed upstream
1140 years since the Vikings gave up their gods for her
1518 years since Lundenwic was built on her banks
1958 years since Boudicca turned her red
1975 years since the Romans used her waters to turn the mill
34 million years since a long lost ocean set layer of sand on a layer of clay
and sent Fleet flooding down the hill
Now
she runs invisible
to the sewer
not the Thames
A conversation ended
no tide no time no name
