The Jack-O-Wee

The bus stopped at the purple tree,
And was greeted by the Jack-o-wee,
As we alighted by the right,
The Jack-o-wee hopped out of sight.
This Jack-o-wee was green and brown,
And its nose was also upside-down,
A long fluffy tail that was glow-in-the-dark,
And as it hopped away: made a noise 'dingmark'
We followed it into the bush,
Proceeding in silence and hush,
We followed the path 'till it was late at night,
But the Jack-o-wee was nowhere in sight.

We were lost deep amongst the bushes and tree,
Calling out for help but nobody answering me,
As we decided all hope was gone,
A flicker of light through the bush it shone,
We followed this light all the way back,
Once safe this light faded to black,
And although we couldn’t quite see,
We knew we were safe thanks to the Jack-O-wee,
As we departed from our adventure off through the dark,
On the nights warm air we heard this remark:
‘Pree Pree Shnarkle Dingmark Dingmark’
There for a moment I thought I saw,
A Jack-O-wee family,
Sitting down to scarecrows jaw,
And midnight tea!
