Little Horrors
Pedro was a Mexican who lived in Mexico
Pedro always wore a hat, a big sombrero
Pedro loved the sun he sunbathed every day
He tipped his hat over his eyes to keep sun-rays away
Some cheeky children passing by saw Pedro in repose
Decided to stick chewing gum up poor Pedro's nose
This did not awaken him although his nose was plugged
The cheeky children looked at him and off his shoes, they tugged
Then very gently, so that Pedro would not wake
One by one, off came his smelly socks what liberty to take
Then off with his pants and even Pedro's belt
Pedro was snoring heavily one thought he may have felt
Those naughty kids were plotting what more
They could do to poor Pedro still sleeping on the floor
One said, "let's collect feathers and stick them into his hat
That's what they tried to do when everything went SPLAT!
They collected feathers from a neighbours fowl shed
And started to poke them in the hat on Pedro's head
One of the boys on bended knees
Accidentally tickled Pedro's nose which made him SNEEZE
Pedro sneezed so loud which caused a mighty force
It sneezed the gum from Pedro's nose-you guessed that of course
Pedro woke up in a daze albeit for a second
The daze became a rage, revenge to Pedro beckoned
He became so furious when he realised what had been done
He let out a mighty ROAR as the children ran and ran
This chain of events wasn't part of the plan
They soon got weary and wanted to stop
Pedro was catching up with them accompanied by a cop
This terrified the children as they knew they were in trouble
The punishment that they would receive
Had completely burst their bubble
