On a planet made of jelly !

Children's poem with political undertone.

On a planet made of jelly grew a giant with a belly

'Twas a very heavy belly fat and round

And as ever more he gobbled all the more he wibble-wabbled

'Till eventually he toppled to the ground.


Though he'd always been a meany who would bully every sweety

From the people teeny-weeny whom he found

Once the blobby brute was fallen like a baby he were bawlin'

While the wee ones he were lordin' gathered round.


"Ah so what if I were greedy" scoffed the giant ever needy

"But for heaven's sake don't leave me on the ground" !

"Better give me some more jelly for the strength to lift my belly

Or forever shall I bully ye around"


But united an defiant at the blotted-pudgy giant

They refused to help a tyrant or be cowed

So they climbed upon his belly with their ladders made of jelly

Where they sung a merry medley out aloud


"Oh dump thee, hum free, we shall do our sweeties nay belong to you

Too big to fail. Unjust ! Untrue ! Though you need us we need not you !!"
