Rascal Sparkle




Look out for a Scally getting pally in an alley

Or a boy from a Welsh Valley going doolally

Watch out for a Gadabout in polished brogue

Keep tally of reprobates mates out on a rally

The Rogue knack seems to be back in vogue


King of the bling castle that Rascal debacle sparkle 

Why possibly be a flunky if you could instead be

Punky freaky funky sneaky spunky cheeky monkey


Wastrel with Scoundrel and a Ne’er Do Well revel

Grins sparking at sins of fancy dans and Harridans 

Twins of long pins dance spin with larking Larrikins

Drifter Imp or Grifter pimp do scrimp always a cad

Unravel dishevel like a Devil from that lower level

Had by a champ Scamp Artful Dodger to crafty lad


Fond of Rapscallion swearing Vagabond & medallion

Delightful tomfoolery wearing well frightful jewellery

Drunken Scallywag swagbag brag of sunken galleon

Blighter sounder Bounder all rounder fighter & stallion

Villain scouring vulture devouring souring culture carrion


Tyro on giro Rake or Tyke on the take always a Herbert

Hasty helluva pasty fella but tasty & stellar as fresh turbot 

Can't cellar or curb it not a hermit more animal than kermit

Shan’t enslave a fave Knave or Snake who crave a sherbet..
