Had nothing to sit on
Since his bottom left home to explore.
But it came back to find him,
So he’s put it behind him,
And now he can sit down once more.
A snake swallowed poor Henry
A snake swallowed poor Henry on his visit to the zoo.
A snake swallowed poor Henry and I know this to be true,
For he disappeared the moment that his classmates turned their backs,
And the snake grew fat and lumpy half a moment after that.
A snake swallowed poor Henry as he licked at his ice-cream.
A snake swallowed poor Henry, though we didn’t hear him scream.
All we heard was slither, slither and a satisfying hiss,
And the snake grew fat and lumpy half a moment after this.
A snake swallowed poor Henry on our zoo visiting day.
A snake swallowed poor Henry while he looked the other way.
Someone shouted, ‘Look up there! A flying alligator!’
And the snake grew fat and lumpy just a half a moment later.
A snake swallowed poor Henry but nobody found out why.
A snake swallowed poor Henry as he stared up at the sky.
All they saw was one boy gone and one long, lumpy creature,
And a smear of chocolate ice-cream on the lips of me, their teacher.
