Look dearie!!! Wanna watch? Look’ere Son! & Catch it now! Playin’ action …& Watch’n' see!! Lots’a cunnin’, Sleigh’ of hand, Juggl’rs tricks… Magic’s own –& Falsities! ’n Down, down, down, Drops the birdie, - THUUD!! Hop’n a jump Sets th’ rhythm. Aim’s done Arrows taut Shot high straight Upwards too! Stin’ y’ur heart Whooosh Like that, - CAUGHT!! Crawling, sliding, creeping, slowly Nets a snare Gostho Cuz’n – Steppin’ out, Basket borne… Arrows get Th’ creature down, - NOW!! Oh Dear mee! All awryy!!! Dup’d ’n gone… Heyy Cuz’n ’ou, Senile sudd’n? Scrunchin’ past y’ur Ribby cages Did th’ arrow Zoom unawares - ZAP!!?
