Brownie's Broken Beak

Brownie broke her beak today
Purloining potted prawns
Despite Will’s whistled warning words
To only eat from lawns

But  Brownie boldly battered
that toughened  tin top jar
and broke her lovely beak in bits
she’d pushed her peck too far

but wily Will he had a way
to triumph testing trial
so searching for some Superglue
he produced a plastic phial

But Brownie fussed and fluttered
And Thang a tuneleth thong
Worried when Will wrapped it up
thseed thing her thong all wong

One dinky drop of adhesive
Fast fastening he found
Forever fixed his flailing foot
But stopped that thsquawking thound

hahaha What a hilarious story rhyme, David. Had me chuckling all the way until full blown laughing by the end ! Excellent way to start my day. I think only reason you got first place was that there is no position higher! Loved it . Congratulations, David.
