The Big Wahoo!

He yelled ‘WAHOO!’ RIGHT BY MY EAR!!!

The Big Wahoo was a round, round thing,

With a covering of bright blue hair.

He rolled wherever he wanted to go

But he never attempted a stair.

He wobbled along with an easy smile

And he sang with a beautiful voice

A rather long and happy song

Better than sad, as a choice

‘Oh I’m a Wahoo with hair of blue

And I live in a hole in the wall

I’m a BIG Wahoo and I’m telling you

I never want to be tall.

If I was tall I might have a fall

A terrible state of affairs

Imagine my friend how it would end

If I was tall and fell down the stairs

I’d be black and yellow and horrible green

Oh dear what an awful sight to be seen

What a terrible mixture of hue

A Wahoo is BLUE a colour so true

That everyone knows it. Do you?

I’m so glad I am round because I have found

That to roll is as safe as can be

So when you see me around, I am round

As can be and I love it, I’m glad that I’m ME!!!’

So the Big Wahoo sang as he rolled

And he warbled and sang as he wandered

And then in a flash and a terrible clash

He yelled ‘WAHOO!’ RIGHT BY MY EAR!!!

And when I recovered, I looked and discovered

He’d gone! Just plain disappeared!

Oh how I miss the Blue Wahoo

Who was round and lived in a wall

I miss his song as he rolled along

Big, hairy and blue and NOT tall

I wonder whether I’ll see him again

Or if he is true blue at all!!!!!
