What would long John silver say? About our current strife? How about Mr Bumble? Would he just moan to his wife? What about young Oliver? He wouldn’t ask for more, Or What of Hero, Harry? Just Complain to Dumbledore? What of traveller Gulliver? A giant in his land, Would Miss Marple investigate? We’ll never understand. And what of Mr Darcy? He would not like this lockdown, Or what of the Pied Piper? Banned from entering Hamlyn Town. What of secret seven? An adventure paused for now, Where would the ginger beer come from? And how’d they get it now? Would Bilbo use his magic ring? To make things better here? Would Fagin have no stuff to steal, Would he say “no, my dear”? Would Alice through her looking glass, See things as bad as that? And would the maddest hatter, Have an answer in his hat? Would James and giant peaches, Make us think of other things? And like Mr. McCawber, See just what tomorrow brings. Would Peter and his Jessica, See this as being funny? Cos life is so much simpler, When in fiction you’re a bunny! Would Toad in hall pontificate? Black beauty canter off? Napoleon the piggy, Think caps animals should doff? And while we’re needing doctors, Will Doc Watson help us out? And will Ma and Pa Larkin, Just sit round “larkin” about. So if they could be called upon, Which character could assist? Or searching for a prince to help, Would many frogs be kissed? Should we call on James Herriot, Although he’s just a vet? P’raps we should get Aladinn’s lamp, Three wishes for to get? So get your kindle, read your books, See who might offer aid, Cos I’ve exhausted one or two, I’ve run out I’m afraid!
