I went down to Salisbury
To listen to the choir,
A pair of Russian tourists
They were staring at the spire,
Staring at the spire, they were,
Silent and aghast,
Against the sky, hurtling by,
A piggy flying past.

Someone called Rob Joyce has done this with the story -to the tune of 'Common People':

They came from Russia, had a thirst for knowledge,
Liked their spires, were passing Wiltshire College
That’s where I
Caught their eye
All their texts back home were encoded,
Said they knew the way from the station…blindfolded
I said fine
And in 30 seconds time they said

We want to see a common steeple
We'll fly to see whatever common steeples do
But if there's slush near that common steeple
We'll turn back from that common steeple
Like you do.
