Our hero’s shook and shivered
all down their tiny spines
‘she wants to skin us both alive
that’s not very kind!’
Its time for martial action
artistic self defence
set up the white washed canvas’
red cross hospital tents.
Out of the door Chip pounced
followed by Ceddy and his easel
nimbly setting up the picture stand
lithe just like weasels.
The cat was quite astounded
that the boys should make a show
didn’t no what to say or do
should she just hightail and go?
She hissed her surprise
and took one deadly swipe
at the Kung Fu White Mouse Master
now this was really a fight.
Ceddy’s furious flashing brush strokes
blurred paint and coloured oil
a scene quite like no other
as the fast rat artist toiled.
Chip ducked avoiding certain death
then shot up like a spring
so very close, a whiskers breadth ,
it was time to do his thing…
The painter was amazing
His tail now had a brush
a cocoon of concentration
slow motion film, then silence….hush.
‘and………Action!’
Time to give this cat the chop
Mum had taught him to resist
Her legendary secret move
The ‘Exploding Cheesy Fist!’
Chip span like a tornado
On the domesticated cat
whilst a whirlpool flash of colours
matched the illustrating rat.
Chip made sharpest Kung Fu Cry
Just like Mr. Bruce Lee’s
He fell upon the ginger puss
And unleashed the deadly cheese.
The Cheese Chop fired down
tore the air like fighter jets
it screamed towards the stricken cat
No! not another day at the vets?
With a look of sheer terror
And a ghastly, horrid shriek
Turned quick fled and didn’t return
not even for a peek.
The Chinese chop was wasted
but it did the very trick,
for the cat had done a runner
and the cheese had hit the bricks.
The painting was now finished
and our friends were very rich
Ceddy’s ‘David and Goliath’
sold at auction in ‘The Ritz’!!!
What would they do together
No need to paint and sell
Just retire and soak the sun up
In a lovely French hotel
lets buy a Volkswagen Beetle
drive to the South of France
just live happily every after
in new hats and fancy pants!
They bought a flashy motor
Frilly trousers made of satin
Took the highroad west to Wales
And settled for Prestatyn.
The End (until..... 'The Passion of Prestatyn')
