Marvin McLiquorice-Ticklish-Toes
put a big chocolate button on the end of his nose.
Then on top of that he balanced a cherry,
a runny poached egg and a small glass of sherry.
Then five jammy-dodgers and six sugar mice,
plus three onion bhajis and special fried rice,
a big bowl of chicken-and-prawn jambalaya
with skewers of melon, fresh figs and papaya,
and sausages smothered in best Dijon mustard,
and hot pumpkin pie with great dollops of custard.
Then tiramisu mixed with pineapple jelly
and ice cream that dribbled all over his belly,
topped off with a helping of green mushy peas.
Then Marvin McLiquorice gave a big SNEEZE!
