Wavery Night

Three plump men went out to eat a nice juicy lamb.
They arrived before they thought it late.
On their way home, they threw their shiny metallic hammer.
The restaurant's new chef was caught in a glass tidal wave.

The glass had broken harder than a wave.
It devoured the abandoned lamb.
Now desolate, left on a table was the evil hammer.
it found the true meaning of a bad apple.

Searching for an old hammer,
the men found a bad apple.
They looked until it was late.
The three men found the remains of a glass wave.

Just before it was too late,
the hammer fell from a hardy rope.
Hitting a window and causing a huge wave,
was what was accomplished by the hammer.
