The ‘Terrible Tropicals’

Well after much deliberation and consideration, the six midget men told their Mothers

“How’s about the Jungle “
“None of us has trekked that before”

So that’s exactly where they were heading, as they stormed out of Sid’s back door

After many long hours feeling apprehensive, ‘Was this a good idea?’ 

“Ah well it’s too late to change our minds, coz we are almost here”

The plane landed at 2.a.m. very early in the morning

Jimmy, spud, Sid and Mick were continuously a’yawning

Each of their mouths were in a sequence, tho none of them did realise

That all of the other passengers were listening in surprise

“Here we go” said Jimmy,
“Are we really here” said Mick

“Mind you if you spy a spider lads, don’t you touch it with a stick!”

This was a some sensible advice from Stan, as the rest of them did shriek

Yet none of them had thought of those, so not one of them did speak

Well there they were trudging through the labyrinth of jungle, each with rugsacks on their backs

Stan had packed some paper bags, to cope with any possible panic attacks

Almost every minute that passed, at least two of them did “Yelp”

One wonder’s why an earth they went there I the first place, without any help

But then again they had each other, after that thought had occurred

Hadn’t they studied its ins and outs after reading ‘jungle book’ word for word ?

Then Sid spied the longest living creature that he had ever seen

He shouted “Oh my gracious me” as his face turned a shade of green

The rest of them ran in different directions, as this King Cobra snake slithered down a tree

But by the time it had reached the bottom, the lads had scarpered luckily

In a single line they ran and ran jumping over all of the many obstacles

That was it they’d had more than enough of the adventurous ‘Terrible tropicals’

After catching a bus back to the airport and boarding the next flight back

They mustered up a tall story to tell their loved ones, all of their wisecrack

Of course as one can well imagine, because their two weeks was actually only three days
