Excerpt
MEET THE GANG
There’s Nelliphant and Squiggle
Pengi and Nosirus,
Kerrry the Koala,
And a cat that’s called Puscus,
Peebee and little Tuppy,
A crocodile named Fang,
Herbert Hippopotamus:
The members of the gang.
They are the very best of pals;
They ‘re always found together,
Come wind, or rain, or hail, or snow ;
No matter what the weather.
HERBERT'S HOLLOW
In Nelliphant’s garden
After a flood,
Had left a big puddle
That turned into mud,
She came with a large brush to sweep it away,
When Herbert the Hippo begged,
”No, please let it stay,
I’ve waited so long for somewhere to wallow,
It’s just what I’ve dreamt of a dirty, big, hollow!”
THE PICNIC
It was a lovely day for a picnic
And so the decided to go.
Kerry packed up the basket,
And tied it up tight with a bow
Katy was leaving tomorrow;
Her holiday was at an end.
Kerry wanted the day to be special
To say goodbye to her friend.
But where to go was the problem,
They lived so far from the sea,
Though they all love to build sandcastles.
Then Tuppy said, “Come, follow me.”
The place that he took them was perfect;
So sheltered with plenty of sand,
As Kerry spread out the tea cloth
She said with delight, “ This is grand.”
They had a wonderful picnic
Down by the fourteenth green,
And the sand-pies they made in the bunker
Were simply the best ever seen!
SWIMMING LESSONS
The Gang had all gone swimming,
Peebee decided that
Everyone should learn to swim,
Even Puscus Cat.
Pengi said she’d help her
To teach them how to swim,
And Fang said that he’d show them how
To glide along like him.
Kerry was quite nervous,
But said that she would try,
While Nosirus in water wings
Went gently floating by.
Tuppy splashed along with glee,
Doing the Dog-Paddle,
When Puscus thought the time was right,
To do a quick skedaddle.
But Nelliphant wound round his trunk,
And laughing cried, “Not yet,
In you go, you silly cat,
High time that you got wet.”
