Honoring the English Wombles

Don’t wake him up yet! Shansi said with a snicker.
Orinoco needs his sleep, for his soft-hearted ticker!
So Great Uncle Bulgaria gave Orinoco fifteen minutes more.
But then you have to leave for school, he said. Right out the door!

Miss Adelaide will be waiting, and you know she is fine.
This school mistress wanted the Wombles there in good time.
Tobermory had to fix Bungo’s bike before they could leave.
Bungo had a fine idea to put on a weird new blowing sleeve.

Tomsk was raring to go, he loves to drive through the woods.
Yazz told them to wait up, she had to primp up her girly goods.
Wellington lagged a bit, for he has such a scientific mind.
He stops along the way to gather everything that he can find.

A really cute poem, Caren, but I'm a little in the dark about what wombles are. They have really neat names. Help?

Bernard Cribbins created the WOMBLES a 1973 TV show for children. He recently died, and there was a contest about the WOMBLES so I clicked on a U-tube link for the tV show and watched it. They looked like MUPPETS. It was cute.
