Putrid Gassington by Thehara age 9

Thehara

Putrid Gassington was a smelly ol' guy

Since he never washed and only ate pie,

putrid Gassington was a let-out-wind sort of fellow.

and nobody knew why he liked the colour yellow.

Putrid Gassington lived on the street,

I asked him one day-"when last did you wash your feet?"

he replied "a thousand and twenty two years ago when there was sleet"

I was shocked I hit my head on a brick ,

whilst putrid Gassington wrote 'my real name is spencer cleans' out with a stick,

Then I almost fainted when he removed his body of "tin",

To show me his layers of clean, thin skin!

His hair was neat and his teeth were clean,

there was nothing really that didn't send a beam across his smiling face ,

soon I turned round and then began to pace,

I paced all the way to my little cottage in the wood.

    GOOD AFTERNOON THEHARA ~ We were sad to see your have had lots of visits but only one comment for your elegant ODE ~ Im BRIAN and I share this site with ANGELA my Fiancee !
    Love the TITLE Im a CHEMIST so I thought it might be GAS or a VILLAGE but it turned out to be like MY Friend Graham who is a TRAMP ! We all love HIM but we do wish he would have a wash ! BUT your Poem (lovely rhymes) had a sting in the tale ! Only the outside was scuffy & smelly inside was suit of TIN just like the TINMAN in the WIZARD of OZ ! Inside the tin just like a *cake in a tin* all was clean & pure and had a lovely scent ~ clean Hair & sparkling Teeth and a smiling Face ~ AMEN ! There is a MORAL here *Never judge a Book by its Cover or a Man by his Outward Appearance !* Loved it please check our POEMS ~ Thanks B & A

    Blessings & Peace
    Yours Brian & Angela.
