Harry the Panda
Harry the Panda was awfully strong,
With muscles that rippled and flowed;
He used to start films by beating a gong,
But got in a mood when it lowed.
Harry the Panda was awfully bright,
With a brain that glimmered and glowed;
He used to show films by thinking of light,
But had to refuse when he blowed. *
Harry the Panda was awfully quick,
With toenails that sickled and mowed;
He used to cut films from rushes so thick,
They held up the takes till he slowed.
Harry the Panda grew awfully fat,
On bamboo he'd planted and sowed;
He tried to shoot films on skinning a cat:
He'd barely begun when it snowed.
Harry the Panda was awfully frail,
And when the snow settled and growed, **
The pathetic film of Harry's last hail,
So moved the old cock that it crowed.
*
Well I'll be darned! It should be blew,
Which makes more sense than blowed,
But Pandas brains have never glew,
And then again, they've never glowed.
**
And likewise, what I wrote as growed,
I could not write as grew,
For though our Panda might have crowed,
His cock was never in the crew.
