Bidding For Brands

Boohoo is bidding for Boo-Boo But Yogi’s not seeking a deal, He’s scanning the park for a picnic Looking forward to his evening meal. Warner Brothers deny their involvement So investors are kept in the dark, But rumours are spreading ’round Bedrock And the restrooms of Jellystone Park. Boohoo is bidding for Boo-Boo, It’s becoming a sought-after brand; For Yogi it’s deeply upsetting And he’s drawing a line in the sand. This fetish for gobbling-up trademarks Is addictive - a turbulent torrent, So the trustees of Hanna-Barbera Have rescinded Mister Ranger’s warrant. Boohoo is loving the limelight, Printing posters to boast of expansion. Directors are driving round Dorset Seeking out an available mansion. Animated heroes fall silent, Suppressing their deep-seated rage, They’ve vowed to stop buying new costumes, Thought bubbles stay blank on the page. Snagglepuss is sacking his agent Whose alibi soon fell to pieces, Wacky Races have cancelled two meetings Though Mister Jinks is still chasing meeces. Huckleberry Hound is blue in the face, So upset that he’s leaving his kennel tea. Boohoo’s directors have not thought this through, Analysts think they’ll soon pay a penalty. Now Matalan, Primark and Peacocks Are struggling hard to pay rates, They see this young upstart named Boohoo Just sealing competitors’ fates. The Jetsons are locked in a hangar Refusing to talk to the press, While Cindy is comforting Yogi Because bears aren’t accustomed to stress. Just how many trademarks are needed To cater for everyone’s tastes? With so many trend-setters in lockdown Periodically measuring waists. The Jellystone team is downhearted When they note that admissions are down, With Boohoo now trashing their legacy It’s the first time they’ve seen Muttley frown! Yes, Boohoo is bidding for Boo-Boo, It’s becoming a sought-after brand; For Yogi it’s deeply upsetting And the prospects for fashion seem bland.
