[Absolutely not, by any stretch of the imagination, based upon or influenced by or pertaining to any TV or radio production known as, but not exclusively limited to, “Sesame Street”… your honour!] ___________ FLUSH = Fearless League of Unlikely Super Heroes ___________ 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”.
