Rhubarb-Everyone Poops Contest

They wait in the streets with a bucket and spade
The gardeners waiting for a horse to oblige
First it is the milkman, with bottles a rattling
Then the coalman with his nutty slag in a bag
The horses of each carrier doesn’t look like he will
Lift his tail scrunch his face and do what they want

He is waiting til he reaches the door of No 10
Where she waits with a few carrots and strokes his mane
Come on lovely horsey fill my bucket today
The rhubarb needs a help if a pie I’m to bake
Your lovely poo is good for the soil
Come on lovely horsey  give your tail a good shake
Fill my pail I will mix it with compost, 
steam will rise as it seems to come to the boil.

Lovely horsey, there, a few carrots for you.
Thank you once again for doing a poo.
