From the bottom of a well
Sep 22 '03
The Bottom Line Hmmmmm
Down in the bottom of a deep dark well
Lives a strange little man with a tall tale to tell
Seven little fingers and nine stringy toes
Wears hardly any shoes and very little clothes
He's small and he's pointy with fingers thin and long
Spindly legs and big flat feet that give off quite a pong
His hair is just like seaweed - it's slimy and it's green
He's the strangest looking creature that I have never seen
Wild staring eyes - one red, one black, one blue
Op-ti-cally well-endowed, most folk have only two
A third eye would be useful, when you're living in a dark,
deep and dank and smelly well - down in the park
How did he get there? that's what we want to know
Is he some sort of monster from a world far below?
Perhaps he's a hermit who has chosen to dwell
Far away from nosey's at the bottom of this well
Once I dared to ask him how he got to be down there
"Mumfle krumfle kinshle krank" is what he said, I swear
"Is that some sort of lingo or a kind of secret code?"
"Bimfle timfle sinshle gronk" he said, then "ribbit" like a toad
"I don't understand you" I shouted loud and clear
"can you speak more slowly? I can hardly hear
what you are saying, it sounds like gibberish"
"Beg your pardon" he replied "was chewing on a fish"
He then went on to tell me how he came to be down there
He thought I'd be most in-trest-ed - that I would really care
I'd love to tell you what he said I'm sure you'd like to know
But he swore me to secrecy before he'd let me go
So ends the tale from the bottom of a well
Of a strange little man with a slightly whiffy smell
It's best kept a secret - a tale I'll never sell
But I never pushed him, honest, he just fell.
Thanks for reading
