Huckleberry
A young rogue
named Finn
Ran away with an escaped slave, Jim,
Down the river on a raft
On the Mississippi this tale was craft—
Encounters & adventures, fore and aft.
Saturday
Flicks
Tales amongst
natives of the plains
Of a shepherd dog's near human brain—
Adventures of two, close as twins
Rusty a lad, with boyish grin
And his Alsation...Rin-Rin-Tin
A Breeze in
the Trees
Deep down in the
Wild Wood
An empyty mansion stood—
Stoats & weasels squatted there for nowt,
Ratty, Mole & Badger with a loud shout
Helped careless Toad to kick them out.
Fat Boy-dim
Billy Bunter was
a lad
Before fast-food became a fad
Ever ready to pass the buck,
Overweight, down on his luck—
Decided to 'borrow' his school mates' tuck.
Tilting at
Windmills
He set his
classic in La Mancha
Don Quxiote and sidekick Panza
This duet made an awful fist
Ready material for a satorist—
Sancho the squire, Don the idealist
Under the
Greenwood Tree
On common land,
within the wood
Eking a living as best they could,
Betwixt Roundhead & Cavalier, they stood—
These children of the new forest
Adventures filled, with youthful zest.
(Frederick Marryat-Children of the New Forest)
Attention!
In a base motor
pool
An off-limits card school—
A scheming Bilko takes the pot
Hoodwinking top brass was his game,
Fast talking his claim to fame.
Meat & No
Veg
In the Dandy
lived a Desparate Dan,
Perhaps the world's strongest man;
A brawny westerner with stubbled chin—
His favourite dish was cow-pie,
Eaten whole...I tell no lie!
Make
Believe
Children's books
of worldwide acclaim
Whimsical humour in nonsense rhyme
Of childhood days in summertime—
Its acrostic brought Liddel's fame,
The story ending with Alice's full name
Tribute to Lewis Carroll
