P. 25

People came from far and around  The crash waggon crane put
 Peering at Cecil on the ground.    him down with a bump
 Where has he come from?    But his chassis got caught on
 What’s his game?               the lamp post stump.
 “Cecil Citroen, that’s my name.  Those sparks round Cecil made
 Up the road from 21,           him giggle with glee,
 Sorry I disturbed everyone.”  The street lights went out
                                and no one could see.
 The police arrived with lights flashing blue –
 “What have we here? What a to-do.”  Don’t touch Cecil or you’ll get a shock,
 PC Potter took his hat from his head  More folk arrived though it was
 “You can’t sleep there in Dick’s rose bed.”    now 12 o’clock.

 The crash waggon arrived with   The electricity van arrived with lights
   lights flashing red,            flashing yellow,
 No one heard Cecil cry,    Blue lights, red lights, now yellow ones too.
 “I’ve a bump on my head.”  Sparks flashing here, and sparks flashing there
 Red lights and blue lights flashing   Cecil looked lovely in the colourful glare.
   all round
 Poor Cecil lay there without a sound.  The electricity man came with his
                               screwdriver and tape
 They put chains round his tummy  And fixed the cable and made it safe.
 And hooks on his head
 And lifted him up from his nice rose bed.  But no one had noticed Cecil’s petrol tank
 But Cecil looked angry and very severe  With a hole in the bottom and one in the flank.
 With twigs in his hair and   “What’s that smell?” said PC Trestle.
   thorns in his ear.   “It’s Esso 4 Star,” said poor old Cecil.
