My Pet Bogey PDF Print E-mail

I’ve got a special bogey

I keep him as a pet

He’s sticky, mucky, green and yucky

Sweet and small and wet

 

I call him Mr Bogey

He lives in a plastic pot

I found him face down on the ground

Unconscious in some snot

 

Though people say I’m weird

Though people say I’m odd

It’s fair to say that me and him

Are two peas in a pod

 

He watches bogey TV

Plays bogey music too

He wears his little bogey clothes

And tiny bogey shoes

 

I don’t want a cat or rat

A turtle or a tortoise

A kangaroo, a cockatoo

A wallaby or walrus

A snake, sea lion or a sloth

A haddock or a horse

Don’t you just know the way to go’s with Mr B of course?

 

My friends try to avoid him

Because he’s full of germs

I say “don’t be a meany to a greeny”

Take him on his own terms

 

Though we go to bogey parties

And have tonnes and tonnes of fun

I can’t take him on holiday

‘Cause he shrivels in the sun

 

I feed him on slime sandwiches

My bogey grows and grows

When he becomes a bigger bogey

I’ll return him to a nose

 

Then I’ll be sad and lonely

With no bogey anymore

Then perhaps I’ll find Mrs Fingernail

Lying somewhere on the floor
