Ice Cream Gran 9 - Grans Hawaiian Adventure

Who snored the loudest was open to question But each would deny such an insane suggestion The phone rang just once and she opened one eye ‘Up you get, Nitro, we gotta fly.’ Nitro Cat yawned and he leapt from her lap His eyes still half closed from his over-short nap He looked up as Gran put her phone to her ear He cat-spoke ‘What now?’ as she muttered, ‘Oh dear.’ * ‘We’re gonna need sprout-juice and Brussels sprout mash And flowery shirts for our long distance dash We've rested our bones and we’re now wide awake There’s one who must sleep… for everyone’s sake.’ With Speedy-van juiced up and Gran’s right foot down Her Hawaiian shirt causing Nitro to frown Nitro-Cat thought, ‘What’s a cat meant to do… When under this cape, I’m wearing one too!’ Speedy-Van launched itself into the skies For miles in their thousands, Speedy-Van flies Nitro-Cat thought there’d be new kinds of bother For when they took off, Granny practiced her hover Suddenly Turbo Gran told him, ‘We’re here That smoke and that grumbling are from Kilauea There seems an acceptance that it’s gonna blow But Mr McGarrett knows not what we know The mount spat out lava, which surely would fry Any buffoon who might be in the sky But Gran had her mission and though it seemed rash Gran switched to ‘HOVER’ on Speedy-Van’s dash A groan like an Ogre shook both earth and sky ‘Oh well,’ said Gran, ‘No time to be shy.’ She opened her door and stared into the crater And, grabbing her zimmer, she said, ‘See you later.’ Suddenly flames shot from all of its feet And Gran lifted off through the door into heat She turned in mid air and said, ‘Make sure you pour Just as you did when we came here before.’ She grabbed a coiled hose that she’d fed through a vent The hosepipe fed out as Gran made her descent Inside the crater was terribly hot She wasn’t far in when she said, ‘Hello, Spot.’ The whole mountain rumbled with one mighty roar And lava erupted from its molten core Gran faced a huge, dragon-like dinosaur and asked of it, ‘Spot, is it wind like before?’ Spot whimpered, ‘Gran, you have got to me nuts What can you do for a Dragosaur’s guts?’ She swung him the hose and said, ‘Suck like a straw It’s juice for a badly bunged up Dragosaur Spot sucked the hose and growled, ‘What the heck’s that? If I wasn’t plugged I’d have pooped out a pat But I feel a rumbling and grumbling inside And something is moving, you’d best get outside She threw him a wink and soared out of the crater And somehow the rumblings seemed even greater She sped up to Speedy and landed on board And when all fell silent, she said, ‘Oh my Lord!’ No rumbling, no grumbling, no lava ejected A most eerie silence that no-one expected And Grandma said, ‘Speedy, autopilot, GO! The Experts are right, that things gonna blow Speedy responded to Turbo’s insistence And stopped to observe from a fairly safe distance A gaseous cloud shot up into the sky An extended PAAAAAARRRRP! a victorious cry The mountain fell silent and calm and at rest And Nitro-Cat nodded for he was impressed But back on the ground one young man had his doubts When Rico said, ‘Honey… are you smelling sprouts?’ [Kilauea — The world’s most active volcanic mass. Steve McGarrett— seriously? He’s from Hawaii 5-0 and is famous for the line, ‘Book Him, Danno.’]
