Tabatha Bagginshaw

Tabatha Bagginshaw jumped in the cab

of her new inter-stellar green prune.

She nipped out to Jupiter, just before tea,

with a sharp left turn at the moon.

We whipped round the galaxy roaring with glee,

with a sharp left turn at the moon.

 

Tabath Bagginshaw played with the groak

who lives in the Jovian dune.

They spent the night out, watching clarvicles dance

round the sharp left turn at the moon.

They sniggerd a bit, as they cuddled and cooed

round the sharp left turn at the moon.

 

Tabatha Bagginshaw's fallen in love

and married, by far too soon.

She and her groak went to build their new home

past the sharp left turn at the moon.

It's three comets tall, with purnicular doors

past the sharp left turn at the moon.

 

Tabatha Bagginshaw furnished her house

with turnicled chairs in each room.

The groak brought them home on the cucumber bus

from the sharp left turn at the moon.

The bed was a beautiful, shining white star

from the sharp left turn at the moon.

 

Tabatha Bagginshaw visited me

and her groak came along quite soon.

They made me a gift of the lovely green prune

by the sharp left turn at the moon.

We dined in the cafe on lightly grilled clouds,

by the sharp left turn at the moon.

Thanks very much Pete and Clarissa. I am not that productive really Pete, I just keep recycling. That is my contribution to saving the worl by not expending unnecessary energy.

As for a kids book, well that takes real effort and illustrations. I can't draw.

I think I might like to be a simple sophisticate though.
