Ballad of the fat and ugly

intro

Sir Snoresalot was a scary man
he had a big belly and and when he ran
it flopped up and then it flopped down.

Sir Snoresalots teeth were made of stones
he despised cookies and ice-cream cones
though jagged metal he gobbled down.

Sir Snoresalot had no real friends
though every so often his mom sends
him chocolate cookies which he throws out.


Mrs Grizzles was fat and short
she lived alone in a faraway fort
and roamed the stairways up and down

Mrs Grizzles had a wooden chair
in which she sat to comb her hair
one stroke up and two strokes down

Mrs Grizzles had no real friends
but by the time our story ends
she will be dancing about.
