Plumpyflumpy and Friends - Contest
Plumpyflumpy was a sort of hippo/giraffe
Its rump was huge like a hippo
With a neck sooooooo long, that’s where the raffe bit was.
Plumpy loved to wallow in a muddy pool
oops I forgot to say that Plumpy was a young girl.
Sooo she had to wear a swimming costume when in the water
It was bright green with purple dots all over it,
made poor Plumpy look like a giant mushroom with a rash.
Did she care nooooo, she was free from lessons
free from chores that her Mam would find for her ,
off she waddled to the pool, excitement,
making her tummy rumble.
Down she plonked herself with a loud splash in the water
Plumpy closed her eyes in pleasure.
Suddenly a horrendous noise filled the air whewwwwwwwww it went
it was Plumpy her aching tummy full of gases,
slowly, getting released, the noise was like
an orchestra tuning up. whewwwwwwwwwww
So very loud, not very easy on the ears or nose.
Poor Plumpy, she just wanted to cool off.
Suddenly a bright idea was had by Rattycat
Why don’t we sing to mask the noise of Plumpy
So that’s what they did, they jumped into the water
Held hands in a circle and waited for the escaping gases to commence .
Wasn’t long and the noise of thunder started rumbling through the air
They looked at each other, started singing together
like a dawn chorus well sort of but not in tune.
Plumpy was so thankful to her friends
Come home for tea I made banana bread this morning
So off they skipped and jumped down the lane
Plumpy, Rattycat, Thumper (he didn’t go in the water] cos rabbits not keen and
Smellyskunk. Now he had a bad body smell loads of the time
so a dip in the water was like nectar to the gods, to his friends.
Last of all Chunky Monkey, he was doing his Tarzan act
going from tree to tree chanting
Banana Bread Banana Bread Banana Bread for me yeahhhh
What a lovely day it was for Plumpyflumpy
with wonderful understanding friends.
