Tabitha Tootle

Neville

Tabitha Tootle

 

Tabitha Tootle

Was no beauty queen

All spots and big muscles

She was ugly and mean

But she loved tiny children

If you know what I mean

 

All the bullies were frightened

Together they hid

As she walked down the street

With an old dustbin lid

 

All you children are safe

So don’t worry or care

No bully will tease

Or put gum in your hair

 

Tabitha Tootle

Was undoubtedly

Ugly and mean

Only six and a half

But she kept the streets clean

 

From bad boys and bullies

If you know what I mean

Good old Tabitha Tootle

              aha dear young Tabitha Tootle whack, the stalwart from Bootle.
              No fear of yer heartstrings being twanged on departings.
              Just a sigh of 'ooh neck' as she throttles ya neck.

              Love to read a bit of well composed fun.
