Pluck ‘Im Naked And Shave His Head

A few days ago
We went to the beach…
Beautiful white sand dunes!

My darling oldest daughter
Much to my delight
Entertained the little ones
And kept them both in sight

They buried her with sand, you see
Right up to her sweet neck
The only thing left out was
The hand the seagull pecked! !

That’s right! ! That rotten beastie
Tried to eat my daughter, dear
And when she turned and saw it…
It gave her quite a scare!

Poor daughter dear
Threw off the sand
And quickly grabbed
Her injured hand

Then to the waves
She did go
To cool the bruise
That hurt her so

Some time later
I saw her run
And thought that she
Was having fun…

Until, I then realized
She was chasing bird
Across the sand
And this is what I heard….

‘ I’ll pluck ‘im naked
And shave his head! ! ! ‘

Could be worse!
He could be dead! ! !
