Missing In Action

Now little Jenny's favourite cardigan is missing one of these It fell off just the other day and simply disappeared We turned the house upside down everyone was looking The cushions of the three piece suite were heaped into a pile While Uncle Jack was on his knees searching high and low Mum got out the Hoover and ran it into Auntie Flo, who hopped around the sitting room making funny noises The dog was heading for the door but Dad he dived and caught him and once old Zak was upside down and nothing inside rattled was allowed to leave the scene The next stop was the fire brigade but we didn't have a cat or a garden with a tree Now we couldn't find the shiny little blighter, so we had a cup of tea We tried to find another one just like the one that's lost but that is such a trying task there's never two the same Mum finally found a button but it never matched the rest and Jenny's pretty cardigan was never seen again
