Ricky-Ticky Timber the Limber Lumberjack

Once, there was a tall limber lumberjack,

named Ricky-Ticky.

He had a powerful ax that went wackity wack, wack.

You see,

most other people weren’t even as tall as his knobby golden knees.

Despite anyone’s desperate pleas,

in the forest, he felled many trusty-old-tried-trees.

Most would roast their marshmallows and agree,

that the trees themselves were not quite as limber,

as Ricky-Ticky the limber lumberjack,

with the powerful ax that went wackity wack, wack.

Especially, when they heard yet another tree go timber-timber, splinter-splatter-slam,

right on top of a beaver’s dam!

Actually, all the animals skimper-scampered,

willy-nilly everywhere as their homemaking was dreadfully dampened.

Before too terribly long,

someone important caught wind of all the wrong,

caused by the tall limber lumberjack,

with the powerful ax that went wackity wack, wack.

It was his mother,

and for the winter, she’d just so happened to have gained several dozen layers of blubber.

In a fury-scurry,

she went wailing and flailing,

rolling and scolding,

like a rubber-bouncy-bowling-ball,

she broke his golden knees!

He howled and hopped and began to wheeze,

and off a’spinning he threw his ax,

that went wackity-wack-wack,

flying a mile high into the breeze.

What a smack of a lifetime,

this limber lumberjack rolled on his back,

because now his mother had made him flat as a flipping flapjack!

This is how the tall limber lumberjack with an ax that went wackity-wack-wack,

turned into Filip-Flap the flimsy flat fixer of yummy flapjacks.

And boy, oh boy have all the critters,

turned into go-getters,

as they munch-munch,

and smack-smack,

on all the breakfast flapjacks!
