Toe Hider

I saw the clock (and I) dashed for my socks I untwisted the lock when... WHEN UP UP POPPED HIS LITTLE HEAD But it was strange coz I wasn't afraid but I, I have to say that it was more than a little unnerving when he said; "There'll be no moonlighting in the moonlight, children No sightseeing in the sea And you'll be best to cover up your feet soon darlings, or best you give your toes to me... And the word got around, spreading right across town, that when he wore his night gown it was single... ...double... ....triple the fun! When the angle was right, in the sultry moonlight, he would give us a fright.. and we all stood pretty much motionless as he went; "You'll have no more offers from the office, ladies No tip-toe'ing round the truth. And there'll be no smashing of your packets either, Lest I give these toes... TO YOU!!" Now, the ending of this fable sees the youngen (small and able) duck her head under the table With her mouth all full of chewing gum-ooooh! Could you believe it? Well I guess you had to see it, little toes, stuck with adhesive for to catch a... Catch a toe hii--- der!! Yeah, the purple-y muck, had him awfully stuck, and so all out of luck Shoulders shrugged he sat down be-side her. And you know ,I confess, I suppose that to say that I was suprised would be a great understatement, when he turned to the children and spoke.... "Don't you worry much about your Hallux, Alex Gone are slippers in the heat. And there'll be no more fidgeting your digits, Bridget I see you like them more than me... So now go on with twinkling in the wet grass children, And moonlight-dancing for the win! And there'll be no more toe hiding, I promise kids, but [maybe I could tuck them in?]"
