The Drunk Shy Small Jack o lantern and the Fat Rat

The Drunk Shy Small Jack-o'–lantern and the Fat Rat


The Drunk Shy Small Jack-o'–lantern woke up
in the toilet bowl
that really needed a clean up.
It smelt like a troll. 

She heard a HIIIIIIIISS, and nervously looked up 
at a Fat Rat slyly grinning.
She asked, ‘W-w-w-what’s u-u-up?’

The Fat Rat laughed wickedly. 

Then he pressed FLUSH.
With great slush
the orange, soft, and 
slashed Jack-o'–lantern went down, round and round out of sight. 
In a hollow echo she said, 'Oh the fright!'

She uncomfortably spent Halloween night
stuck in the thick horizontal soil pipe Mr Dwight.
There she was stuck with a talkative spider mite!
