Excert from Fluff Gang Tales

a small selection of the adventures in verse

 

Herbert’s Hollow

In Nelliphant’s garden
After a flood,
Had left a big puddle
That turned into mud,
She came with a large brush to sweep it away,
When Herbert the Hippo begged,
”No, please let it stay,
I’ve waited so long for somewhere to wallow,
It’s just what I’ve dreamt of  a dirty, big, hollow!”

 

A Visitor For Kerry

Kerry’s so excited
She hardly can sit still;
She’s up and down and roundabout,
An on the windowsill.

Pengi’s in the garden
Picking her some flowers,
And getting rather wet because
There’s still  a lot of showers

Tuppy’s on the doorstep
Keeping a look out,
When suddenly a car pulls up
And Tuppy gives a shout.

Nelliphant helps out their guest
Without a great to-do,
As Kerry runs to greet her friend,
called Katy the Kangaroo.

 

The Picnic

It was a lovely day for a picnic
And so the decided to go.
Kerry packed up the basket,
And tied it up tight with a bow

Katy was leaving tomorrow;
Her holiday was at an end.
Kerry wanted the day to be special
To say goodbye to her friend.

 

But where to go was the problem,
They lived so far from the sea,
Though they all love to build sandcastles.
Then Tuppy said, “Come, follow me.”

The place that he took them was perfect;
So sheltered with plenty of sand,
As Kerry spread out the tea cloth
She said with delight, “ This is grand.”

They had a wonderful picnic
Down by the fourteenth green,
And the sand-pies they made in the bunker
Were simply the best ever seen!
