Pat and Sam in a row

in my colourful world of lego,
there was once a clash of big egos,
postman and fireman blocked road halfway!
Pat and Sam two old friends had a fray!

Sam said as fireman, he had the right,
Pat said I agree there is no fight!
My van has stopped with front flat tyre,
would not block your way to a fire!

shall guide your fire engine past mine,
You are valued, your job is divine! 
No said fireman, and got out of van,
no fire! let me help if I can!

So that was that in my lego land,
two old friends went to work hand in hand,
Fixed the post man’s tyre in no time,
let’s sing to their friendship in good rhyme!
