Ted And Fred

There once was a man named Ted,

Who had a twin brother called Fred.

Ted was very smart,

And Fred always ate tart.

Ted finally got a job,

So Fred had a really big sob.

He cried and cried and cried and cried,

Until his chips were fried.

Ted was very happy,

Fred got a dog called Slappy.

Slappy barked a lot,

So Fred gave him an Apricot.

Slappy wouldn’t be quiet,

So Ted put Slappy on a diet.

Slappy didn’t like it at all,

In the end Fred and Ted got Slappy a big ball.
