Emily And Rebekah's Sleepover

This is a tale about two friends.
Crowing and crackling like two old hens
The funniest pair you ever could meet
You could hear them giggle from the street

Mummy can we sleepover – please?
We begged our mummies on our knees
Soon it was time to go to bed.
“Goodnight!” Rebekah and Emily said,

At half past four they heard a roar
And poor Emily hit the floor!
Beck what is that awful smell?
But Rebekah did not tell!

Friends don’t tell what happens in bed
So there friends face doesn’t go red
