Nelson And Phil

There was once a kid named Nelson, whose hair was as soft as silk
He would often ride down to Coles, just to get himself some milk.
He would ride his bikes downtown, with his lanky mate named Phil
Phil lived in a big house, and it was just at the top of ‘Sniff Hill’
He had Irritable Bowel Syndrome and often got constipation
So Nelson decided to get a grip of the current situation
As Phil’s diarrhea went all over the floor,
Nelson started to sprint and ran straight through the door
He bought a pack of Imodium and slipped it in Phil’s drink
“Drink this” He said, as Phil drunk the beverage in pink
The pink drink being strawberry milk, didn’t sooth Phil’s tummy,
So Nelson drank the rest and said, “Mmm this is Yummy.”
So Nelson called Phil’s mother who arrived to see the mess,
“What have you done?” She screamed at them, as she was in distress.
“I’m sorry Mrs Sniffnugget I tried as hard as I could,
If it helps have a sip, it tastes pretty good.”
