------------------------------------------------------
a merriment while the pub's on fire
- a re-fuelling tale of Bertie the polka-dotted walrus, Jagerjit the balti-mad mop-haired sealion, and a guinness-quaffing two-tailed moggy called Eh?.
A polka-dotted walrus chugged my pint of guinness
"Bring on the Balti!" hollered its mate
a mop-haired sealion
"Some dancing blokes to go along also!" I chimed in
All this while the pub's on fire
"Oh my goodness!" exclaimed the landlord
a one-eyed Irish scarecrow
The aptly-named Seamus O'Crow
"Would you care to join us?" asked Bertie
the polka-dotted walrus
"No, no, carry on if you must," Seamus replied
"But mind, this pub's burning fast!"
We all guffawed at his comedic flappings
but never would I the least expect
not a single drop of guinness left by the crack of dawn
So we trundled off for home from the burnt down pub
A lesson not that we have learnt
but a friendship has been forged
The polka-dotted walrus Bertie, me and
Jagerjit the mop-haired sealion
