Gail the Snail 

On a gate by the lake sits Gail the snail, 

She's going with Jake on the lake for a sail, 

She baked apple cake in a very large pail, 

To eat with Jake while they sit on the rail. 

Jake is a snake who lives near a drain, 

He stopped to buy bait and missed the last train, 

He bravely raced into the pouring rain, 

But lost his way down a very long lane. 

A quail and her baby came by that day, 

They saw Gail on the gate and stopped to say, 

'Why do you wait on the gate by the lake?', 

Gail said, 'I'm waiting for the snake named Jake'. 

Gail waited until the last light of day, 

She raced off home her cake to store, 

Coming to her house she knew not what to say, 

For there was Jake, asleep on the bait at the door.

The Monkey Queen's Feast 

Sally the donkey and a sheep called Dean, 

Love to feast with the Monkey Queen. 

They feed on bee's knees and roast of leech, 

Sealed with honey and the juice of a peach. 

They dine in the tree tops and dangle their feet, 

With the trunk for the table and a branch for a seat. 

Slurping politely from hives full of honey, 

And nibbling lightly at meat wrapped in money. 

Pete the seal is really a dear, 

He wasn't going to come this year. 

He screams and leaps which seems quite queer, 

He certainly won't be invited next year. 

Beneath the tall trees the laughing weeds wait, 

For the Queen to call, 'Cease, It's getting quite late!'. 

They'd love to be dining up there at the Queen's, 

If only to gobble the green jelly beans. 


The Queen does call, 'Cease!'. 

They all shed a tear, 

'Oh! Stay with me, please! 

Let's party — all year!'.

The High Fire 

The clock struck twelve, the time was right, 

The match was lit in the middle of the night, 

All the water fled in fright, 

The flames of the fire grew higher and higher. 

A fly flew by and blew for a while, 

But higher and higher grew the flames of the fire. 

A kind insect tried to bite the fire, 

But the flames of the fire grew higher and higher. 

Five white mice stamped their feet in a line, 

But higher and higher grew the flames of the fire. 

Meanwhile, the wood thought it might die, 

And it began to cry and cry, 

And by and by the flames of the fire … 

Retired!

Boogooloos 

New was the moon when the boogooloos crept, 

From their hiding place, 

Under Sue's bed. 

They moved across the covers, 

And up to the pillow, 

To chew at the hair on Sue's head. 

Sue knew they were there, 

As they tugged on her hair, 

But, what a surprise! she opened her eyes, 

And they had vanished, 

Right into thin air. 

Then into the kitchen, they licked all the cupboards, 

And poked at the basket of fruit, 

They fooled in all rooms, threw shoes and rode brooms, 

And then danced, to the tune of a flute. 

When the wind gently blew, 

They moved to the roof, 

To moo as the moon turned bright blue. 

Sue knew they would croon, 

All night at the moon, 

And she wondered just what she might do. 

Then, a huge boogooloo, 

Crept up to her bed, 

Tapped on her eyelid and said, 

'Well to tell you the truth, it may sound uncouth, 

but we can't leave until we have a tooth.' 


Sue knew a new tooth, 

Would grow back quite soon, 

This offer was too good to refuse. 

So she wriggled and loosened her tooth to be rid, 

Of the clumsy, loud, rude boogooloos.
