The Cautionary Tale of Bert |

There was a time not so long ago, When there were things that lived below. They scurried around under the earth And this is the tale of one called Bert. Now Bert was a funny fellow; Especially as his skin was bright yellow. He also had some green bits too, But I won't tell which bits where blue! Berts only wish was to go above ground So he could find a stylish gown. For he thought, he could impress His friends with his skills to cross dress, But what poor Bert did not know, Was if sunlight touched him he would go Instantly up in a puff of smoke, But not enough to make you choke. So Bert went off and dug a hole, Off towards his fabled goal, And once he found a dress, (With which he thought he would impress) He called his friends up through the hole, So they could see his dress and shoal. But it really was time for them to go For the first ray of light was about to show. So as the sun shone down, It scorched poor Bert in his gown. It also burnt up all his friends, So this is where his tale ends. Now if there is one thing to be learnt That unless you want to get burnt. When out shopping never be slow, And always remember when it's time to go. Copyright 2008 Jag Blane |
