Good morning children, mums and dads
On Sessy Street today
We’ll teach you a new letter
And a new word if we may

So listen very carefully
To what we have to say
Because the word we have in mind
We’ll illustrate this way

               *

Once there was a little boy
His name was Nobby Napper
He opened up a candy bar
And simply dropped the wrapper
    
               *

The jingle of an ice cream van
Which, tyres screeching, stopped
Turbo Gran stepped out and said,
“Your wrapper you have dropped

“Would we have a tidy world
If each ice cream I sold
Lay thrown upon the sidewalk?
Pick it up and keep a hold.”

               *

A flash and there was Souperman
He said, “Desist from sin,
Refrain from placing litter
But in yonder litter bin

“Be it in thy gift perchance
To stay thy wasteful way
Falter not, so man with spike
Has nought to clear away.”

               *

And in his wake, the Freezer Mice
In tiny incarnation
In unison did each proclaim, 
“Son, keep a tidy nation.”

Those freezer mice clicked fingers
And became as tall as men
Their leader told the errant child,
“Don’t drop litter again.”

               *

And then the Unknown Hero
Paper bag upon her head
Decried his education
And said, “Have you been misled?

“It is never acceptable 
To litter without heed
For this displays all humans
As a most untidy breed.”

               *

The child was shaking fearfully,
His eyes were filled with dread
And he was last heard sobbing
Underneath his parents’ bed

               *

So there we have it children, pay attention if you will
Today we’ve covered. “O” and found a word to fit the bill
Did you guess the word today, or are you guessing still
The “O” word that we’ve learned today, is this word…“Overkill”.
