The Fearless Four Plus One
The Fearless Four plus one
Julie was first with her fashionable queries
With a white envelope that she held in her hand
She knocked on the door of her freckle-faced neighbor
And told Sniffling Sammy about her new plan
Let’s meet at the clubhouse now go tell the others
He ran with a sneeze and his hanky held tight
To inform the twins of the Fearless Four meeting
Down at the clubhouse this warm summer night
Wally and Sally then hopped on their scooters
And traveled as fast as the wind, they did go
To find out the secret that Julie discovered
That only the Fearless Four would come to know
They climbed up the boards that were nailed to the maple
And waited outside of the door made of cloth
When Julie requested the secretive password
They whispered it through the hole made by a moth
Buddy the Boxer his tail started wagging
As Wally and Sally now entered the place
Sammy sat down in the corner just waiting
Constant a tissue was held to his face
Julie then placed it face up on a table
Explaining to each where she found it had been
Covered in dust and behind the old sofa
It must have blown down there somehow by the wind
Everyone smiled, now their hands placed together
Then with a “Hi Ho” they went on their way
Julie and Sammy and Wally and Sally
And Buddy, his tail was still wagging away
Their plan had been settled and now was in motion
They opened the gate of the white picket fence
Knocked on the door till his mother did answer
Asked her if they could just visit with Spence
Well I do not know for he’s been very angry
She said while inviting them all to come in
I’ll run and I’ll ask and I’ll see if he’s ready
She said with a half hearted fake looking grin
Spence came downstairs and he wasn’t smiling
What do you want; you four are not my friends
None of you even remembered my birthday
Not even a cheap silly card could you send
Then Julie spoke in her sweetest girl voice
Handing the envelope to the young lad
Here is the card that the four of us bought you
It somehow got lost and we feel really bad
We meant to send it, just look at the postage
The address and name were all ready to go
Never would we ever forget your birthday
That’s why we’re here; we just want you to know
The biggest broad smile now Spencer he was wearing
The children all laughed as they walked out the door
The case had been solved in their wonderful fashion
The New Fearless Five would be friends evermore
