The Bongle
The Bongle had a foot for a nose
And stood on his fingers
Instead of his toes
He had hands but not feet
Thin legs like a spider
A waist slim and narrow
Although his shoulders were wider
His head tall and oblong
Grew out from between
With one eye of orange
And another of green
A large rubbery tongue
Hung down to his chin
His mouth was quite large
And spread in a grin
His bottom was rounded
And swelled from behind
I stood there dumbfounded
He looked out of his mind
The Bongle was bonkers
Or so I was told
He had the mind
Of a mischievous
Five year old
He liked to break wind
Because that’s how he spoke
And the clouds
From his bottom
Wafted like smoke
The gas would change colour
Depending on mood
But the Bongle’s intention
Was not to be rude
He had very few friends
Because of his nature
A talkative fellow
Although a rather
Odd creature!
