This
is the yucky and unpleasant story
Of
a small and slimy child called Rory.
Rory
O'Grady used to drive his Mum potty
Because
he was just so incredibly snotty.
The
stuff constantly dripped out the holes in his head
From
first thing in the morning until time for his bed.
And
it didn't stop then, it was all night-time too.
So
he woke up each morning covered in goo.
He
smothered his bedroom, he covered the hall.
With
snot on the ceiling and all up the wall.
He
plastered the living room with his green nasal jelly.
The
sofa, the book shelves the cat and the telly.
Rory
never minded his slimy green trail.
It
helped him glide round like a little boy-snail.
And
when dried out a little I'm sure that you know
You
can squeeze it in shapes like a kind of play-dough.
Mum
thought it would be good to get him out their home.
So
he went to a nursery but he played on his own.
He
couldn't make friends with the girls or the boys.
Nobody
wanted him to slime on their toys.
So
home Rory stayed and he played round the house.
Well
behaved, kind and gentle, quiet as a mouse.
But
his family couldn't cope with his nose that kept dripping.
They
were fed up with the slime on which they kept slipping.
Mum
baked some cakes that looked like a dream
Then
Rory iced them with his special green cream.
“please
go away Rory! You've ruined the lot.
I'm
really fed up with you and your snot!”
Dad
was in his study typing on his computer.
Rory
tried to see but sneezed a load out his hooter.
“Just
go away Rory! Before I lose the plot
I'm
tired of you ruining things with all your horrid snot!”
His
Sister was in her room doing art with lots of stickers.
Then
Rory leant across her and drenched her to her knickers.
“Buzz
off Rory! Or I'll tie you in a knot.
I'm
sick and tired of you and your stupid snot!”
His
Brother was outside kicking his new football.
He
slipped in a Rory trail causing him to fall.
“Get
out of here now Rory! You nasty yuck faced clot.
Everybody's
really sick of you and your disgusting snot!”
Later
that day Rory's family looked around.
They
searched the whole house but he wasn't found.
For
hours and hours they all went hunting on
Until
they were really sure their baby boy had gone.
“We
love him and miss him” his family sadly cried.
That's
what they said out loud at least, but what they knew inside
Was
that they had been mean to him and really not very nice.
And
now to have him back with them they would pay any price.
Grandfather
arrived to see grandson Rory.
The
family quickly told him the whole terrible story.
Rory's
Granddad, like most, was no silly old fogey.
He
knew that to find him you just follow the bogey.
They
followed the greenie without waiting to wait
As
the slippery trail led them all out the gate.
All
of the family, Father and Mother,
Granddad
and sister and Rory's big Brother.
The
went through the park past fountain and rose
Following
the product of their Son's runny nose.
“We'll
find him quite soon without any doubt”
Said
Rory's poor Mother and then she called out:
“Come
back Rory O'Grady, we miss you a lot!
We're
willing to put up with all of your snot!”
The
family walked quickly past all the shops
Hot
on the trail of Rory's sticky nose drops.
They
ignored all the sellers and pushed through the crowd
While
Rory's Dad shouted out loud:
“Come
back Rory O'Grady, we miss you a lot!
We're
ready to overlook all of your snot!”
They
walked down the river and right round the lake
Following
Rory's snotty nose-snake.
“We'll
carry on” Said his Sister, “In sun, snow or cloud”
Then
she took a deep breath and shouted out loud:
“Come
back Rory O'Grady, we miss you a lot!
We
still want you! You AND your snot!”
Through
a supermarket they went, past fruit and a freezer
Along
what had come out of their Rory's sneezer.
How
long would they search for? Nobody could tell.
Then
Rory's Brother let out a huge yell:
“Come
back Rory O'Grady, we miss you a lot!
We
all really love you! Especially your snot!
They
found him asleep in a green sticky puddle.
They
picked him right up and said with a cuddle.
“We
know it's not your fault that you drive us dotty
By
being quite so incredibly snotty.”
They
took him straight home and from that day to this
Were
never put off from a hug and a kiss.
They
coped with the snot with love and with laughter
So
Rory O'Grady lived happily ever after.
