A string of spaghetti flew out of the pot
(well wouldn’t you too, if the water was hot?)…
…slid over the stove, landed smack on the floor;
that string of spaghetti made straight for the door.
It wriggled and jiggled and wiggled along
and nearly got squashed by my Grandaddy’s thong.
It hid for a while under Granny’s best chair
when a piece of old cheese said, ‘Can I come in there?’
Then a curious cat started sniffing about
and the cheese and spaghetti said ‘Time to get out!’
So the cheese rolled itself in a sort of a ball
and spaghetti jumped on and they rolled down the hall…
…and out through the door, and then bounced down the stairs
all the way to a shrub with tomatoes in pairs.
A tomato fell down on spaghetti and cheese
and it blushed as it said, ‘Pardon me, won’t you please?’
Then Granny tossed out an old dish full of meat
with a smell that was crook and got worse in the heat.
While the three of them talked about what they should do
the hot sun turned the cheese into yellowy goo.
Now a crafty old crow sitting up in a tree
with a rumbling tummy said, ‘What’s this I see?’
As a church going crow he then offered up praise
to the Lord for his lunch…spaghetti bolognaise.
