A Children's Story

A friends day out

This is a little story
about a group of pals
a dog, two cats, a tiny mouse
and a family of owls

The story is about the time
that they went to sea
on a boat that was full of holes
that they got for free

Before they left the harbour
they loaded food for lunch
because they had all missed breakfast
and were a hungry bunch

The doggies name was Timmy
and for him there was a bone
the p***y cats had flavoured treats
the mouse a buttered scone

The owls there were four of them
and what they liked to eat
were hopping little insects
and sometimes bits of meat

So all was ready at the quay
and they untied the rope
together they would have much fun
at least that was their hope

The boat it floated on the waves
bobbing up and down
but when it started sinking
all the friends did start to frown

They hadn’t noticed all the holes
when they had got the boat
and all of them were surprised
when it didn't float

The owls quickly flapped their wings
and soared into the sky
while Timmy jumped overboard and swam
as he had no wings to fly

The p***y cats and little mouse
could neither fly nor swim
and for the three remaining friends
things were looking grim

But Timmy was now safe and sound
and running for some help
he found the harbour master
and gave a pleading yelp

“Please come and help my friends
before their boat does sink”
the official looked out to sea
and had a little think

“We will take my boat and go to them
and it looks like we must hurry”
but daddy owl appeared right then
and told them not to worry

“I have got my fellow birds to help
listen to the wails
we are bringing them to safety
by holding onto tails”

Timmy and harbour master
looked around to stare
as p***y cats and little mouse
came flying through the air

They landed them all on the ground
and nobody was hurt
though little mouse was all messed up
as he had landed in some dirt

They had a look out to sea
and all was as they feared
under waves had it gone
the boat had disappeared

But all of them were happy
and they danced around
singing out with great joy
that they were safe and sound
