Now's the time says Sooty the Sweep -
He smiles his ancient gentle smile -
I watch whilst he uncovers the secrets of last winter's fires -
Each room is filled with the fragrance of dark ashes -
He tells us stories of rooftops and twisting flues -
He holds a Jackdaw's treasures in his hands -
He watches rooks dance in the smoke of a time worn chimney -
