Smelly Bill Stinks Again臭臭的比尔
Smelly Bill Stinks Again. by Daniel PostgateBill loved to climb in rubbish bins and so he smelt of many things,
And I can tell you none of those was very pleasant on the nose.
Bill was clever, tricky, tough, and nobody was smart enough
To get that rascal in the tub and give his fur a soapy scrub.
Nobody, except for one........
There was only one who could, A legend in the neighbourhood.
Her name was Great Aunt Bleach, and she, was every stinkers enemy.
One day Bill's folks went on a trip and Bleach came round to doggie-sit,
Bill heard the rubber gloves go snap... its scrubber-dubber time dear chap.
Up the garden path Bill fled, and jumped up on the garden shed,
With bark and growl and howl and yelp he called around the town for help.
From far and wide, in leaps and bounds, there came Bill's band of loyal hounds.
A shocking bunch of filthy freaks who hadn't had a bath in weeks.
Stagnant Stan, who stank of cheese and was a happy home for fleas
Putrid Pete, a creature who just loved to roll in his own pooh.
Filthy Fred, his favourite dish? It was a bag of rotting fish.
and Rancid Ron, with pong so strong that they could smell him in Hong Kong.
In a whirl of fur and fleas, they dashed around Aunt Bleach snapping at her heels and knees, which made the old girl screech:"Please dont bite me, please dont eat me, go inside you'll see
My shopping bag's full to the brim with sausages and chicken wings and lots of other yummy things, Much tastier than me"
In they ran each greedy mutt, expecting something lovely but
instead they found four ladies who, with hair of purple, pink and blue,
were waiting for them with shampoo!
Bill's flea-bag bunch turned tail to make a desperate effort to escape.
But no! Bleach blocked their way completely. "Bathtime boys" she whispered sweetly.
Then dogs and Aunties went to war, fighting bravely tooth and claw...
Auntie Florence grappled Stan round and round the room they span.
Putrid Pete fought Aunt Jemima, watch out for the priceless china!
Rancid Ron and Auntie Glynn both determined they would win.
Filthy Fred on Auntie Dee... now that was quite a sight to see!
The dogs fought till they could no more, then fell exhausted on the floor.
The aunties all let out a roar and danced around victorious... triumphant, proud and glorious.
Then they took those filthy pets slowly up the creaking steps,
Up to where no dog would dare to dream of his worst nightmare.
When they came home Bill's family were really quite surprised to see
Not one clean dog.. but five no less! Shame the house was such a mess!
MADELINE's Christmas 玛德琳的圣诞节
She was not afraid of mice she loved winter, snow and ice and ice and to the tiger in the zoo Madeline just said Pooh, pooh!
It was the night before Christmas and all through the house Not a creature was stirring not even the mouse.
For like everyone else in that house which was old the poor mouse was in bed with a miserable cold.
And only our brave little Madline.
Was up and about and feeling jut fine. Suddenly came a knock which made her pause-
Could it perhaps be Santa claus? But no…
A rug merchant was at the door. He had 12 rugs, he had no more.
Why these, said Madeline, would be so neat for our ice-cold in the morning feet.
It seems to me, said miss clavel, that you have chosen very well.
Without the rugs which he had sold the rug merchant got awfully cold.
To sell my rugs, he cried, was silly! Without them I am very chilly.
He wants to get them back- but will he ?
He made it- back to Madeline’s door- he couldn’t take one footstep more.
And little Madeline set about to find a way to thaw him out.
The merchant , who was tall and thin (and also a ma-gi-ci-an) Bravely took his medicine.
The magician, as he took his pill, said, ask me , Madeline, what you will.
Said she, I’ve cooked a dinner nutritious, will you please help me with these dishes?
If you’ll clear up I’ll go and see if I can find a Christmas tree.
His magic ring he gave a glance and went into a special trance- the dirty dishes washed themselves and jumped right back upon the shelves.
And jumped right back upon the shelves.
And then he mumbled words profound
That made the carpets leve the ground- and 12 little girls were on their way-
To surprise their parents on Christmas day.
Miss Clavel again quite well thought it time to ring her bell which quickly broke the magic spell.
And now we’re back, all 12 right here to wish our friends a happy new year!
