WALLY'S REVENGE


"YER DAFT" SAID GEORGE, TO WALLY HIS MATE,
"OF ALL THE DUMB THINGS TO DO,
FANCY CHUCKIN' THEM BRICKS AT MA HARRIS'S DUCKS
AND YER KNOW SHE'S ONLY GOT TWO".

"DONT CARE" SAID WAL, WITH A LOOK ON HIS FACE
THAT WOULD HAVE MOVED OLD SCROOGE TO TEARS,
FOR THEM TWO DUCKS HAD BEEN WALLY'S DOWNFALL
INSPITE OF YOUNG WAL'S TENDER YEARS.

WALL HAD BEEN PINCHIN' MA'S EGGS YER SEE,
FOR A COUPLE OF MONTHS NOW I'D SAY,
AND THE DUCKS WERE GETTIN' A BIT FED UP;
WELL, LETS FACE IT, ALL WORK AND NO PAY.

SO THE NEXT TIME WAL PUT HIS HAND ON THE NEST,
THE DUCKS STARTED A SQUAWKIN' AND QUACKIN',
AND MA, BEING THE TOUGH OLD DEAR THAT SHE WAS,
WELL, SHE COPPED WAL AND GAVE HIM A GOOD WACKIN'.

NOW EVERY TIME WAL SEES THEM TWO DUCK,
OH! THEIR NAMES ARE GERELDINA AND ELLIMAY,
YOUNG WAL STARTS CHUCKIN' ALL THE BRICKS HE CAN FIND
AND IF HE SCARES THEM, OH, IT SURE MAKES HIS DAY.

WELL WAL'S GONE ALL VEGITARIAN NOW YOU KNOW,
NO EGS, NO FISH AND CERTAINLY NO MEAT.
AND THERE CAME A TIME WHEN HE SAW THEM TWO DUCKS
TRUSSED UP, COOKED, ALL READY FOR SOMEONE ELSE TO EAT.
