A Little Nap Rap
A little nap rap
When I got home one evening
to my cosy living room
I found a squirrel at my table
and a hedgehog with a broom.
A fox switched on the hoover,
beat my doormat with his tail,
while the squirrel did the kitchen
with a mophead and a pail.
The squirrel was all prickly
and the hedgehog had a tail,
the fox was dressed in tartan
while her coat hung on a nail.
The squirrel used the pulley
as trapeze, from side to side;
the fox slid down the banister,
the hedgehog did a glide.
My floor was very shiny
and everything was clean,
then suddenly I woke up
and found it was a dream!
