Jibbery, Job, Ja-roo

Chippity, chop, beebop The beautiful horse clip clopped Enroute to the mountain’s tiptop But halfway there A grasshopper did scare And suddenly the horse fell kerplop! Bizzery, bozz, bizell The rider’s name was Nell Horse went down, and Nell fell The horse did rear And Nell got skeered What a surprise - Schizell! Lilly, lolly, la-loo What in the world to do? Nell’s whole body was loose Could hardly move He clearly disapproved Nell thinks he broke his caboose - Oh pooh! Tillery, tob, tabeeb Calmed now, horse wants to proceed So horse takes off - full speed But wait! Still in the stirrup, Nell’s foot Nell yells, "Stay put!" Begging, but horse won’t heed! Bippity, bop, kaboom Nell’s body floats like a plume No humor in this assumed Never mind the broken butt Nell’s frustrated - now what? Dang horse - "Whoa!" Nell fumes Klick klack, Gobbledygook Horse stopped and Nell shook Damages? Nell took a look Pleasant ride today, beguiling Looked up to find a maiden, smiling Nell’s pride hurt - "Awww, Schinook!" Jibbery, job, ja-roo Nell’s feelings all askew Maiden asks, "You through? If you are, I’ll take you to town, Let the doc fix that frown" Jibbery, job, ja-roo
