There once was a man called Ned
Who had a book on his head
His pet’s name was squrtle
A round looking turtle
Who lived in the neighbour`s shed.
The pet’s favourite food was lead.
Ned` s house was a shack
With a garden out the back.
His house had a guard
Whose name was Lard.
Lard thought he was good
The way he stood
But he could barely even stand
And that was why he was band.
Ned once had a dream
About a strange machine
It chopped down all the trees
Right down to there knees
Then it turned on Ned
With a giant chainsaw on it` s head,
Then it swerved to the right
And charged with all it` s might,
Ned screamed and ran away,
He did not know which way.
And then he woke up,
With a rather big jump.
Then screamed and shouted “hooray!”
And carried out with the day.
