Ted is a novice when skating on ice Kept slipping and falling twenty times twice Body shattered and battered And his teeth were all scattered Prayed the tooth fairy will give a good price Soups and soft food is all he can now eat But he fancied something that is more sweet Poured treacle in a large cup Then quickly drank it all up Feeling sick, vowed he would never repeat He felt very hot and started to fret From every pore he was pouring with sweat He went outside to cool down Some wasps where flying around And saw his body as a sweet object He screamed loudly, hollered, blubbered and cried As the wasps were all stinging him with pride His body grossly swollen And dignity now stolen Wished instead gone for a horse and cart ride 14.09.23
