Mr Abbott

Mr. Abbott

Mr. Abbott bought a 
 steam powered Stanley
He felt it made him 
 look rather manly

He has a large 
 handlebar moustache 
Constantly covered in 
 soot and ash

In his finery, 
goggles and gloves 
He would wave at his
 imaginary loves

Over the hills
 and over the dales
He would frequently stop
 for supplies and sales

Horses would buck, 
 cows would “moo”
Whatever the terrain,
 the Stanley got through

At the end of the day
 back in the barn, 
Mr. Abbott, in his chair
 would weave a yarn

His stories were 
 colourful and bold
Renowned for being
 exceptionally told
 
As the years drew past
 the Stanley would sit
Stiffening up
 becoming unfit 

The trusty machine finally
 rested in a meadow
Until today, 
 saved by Jay Leno
