Lettuce see how they get on...
For Alfie and Bella xx
Inkle, Pinkle and Tinky-Twoo
Lodged in a Grocer's store.
As the country - loud - did snore
With their hearts beginning to pour
They said: (this is true)
"Please God, let us leave this fear
Lettuce live much longer,
As it stands our death is near
From this murder, lettuce steer,
Help us grow much stronger."
As the moonlight twinkled proud
A quick thunderous roar
Overhead like one big cloud
As the Zipple-Zopple ploughed,
Brought hope to their shore!
Inkle, Pinkle and Tinky-Twoo
Each grew a marvellous grin,
"I know now what we must do"
Trio-esque their brave words flew,
"Let's go for a spin !"
With the most ginormous shakes
And great sideways wobbles,
Set free they did from their brakes
(As the three let out bum-quakes)
Which turned MAD The Yoggles!
Right across the Grocer's floor
The three rolled in joy;
By the fruit they took a tour
Inkle shouted, "Apple, cor...
Quit your hiding, boy!"
On and on the Icebergs rolled
"Lettuce roll all night,"
Shrilled they as some tatties - old
And snot berries with a cold
Giggled. What a sight!
Dizzy heads the Icebergs had
Rolling, twirling, spinning;
To be happy they were glad
Salad lovers will be sad...
But the three were winning!
'Til a sudden shuffle sound
Metal fiddle jumbles
Started up, their smiles drowned
And a panic would be found;
In their guts formed rumbles...
"It's the owner!" Pinkle cried
"Lettuce back up! Help!"
Butterflies flapped hard inside
Icebergs now so teary-eyed,
Then, a friendly yelp:
"Lettuce help our cousins out"
Grandpa Romaine, gurning
Billowed, and a grumpy sprout
Who was stinky (without doubt)
Moaned, "It's Mr Turding!"
Romaines pulled the Icebergs back,
Silent they would wait.
In good time a fresh attack
They'll start. Jitters they did sack;
Lettuce watch their fate...
