The crash waggon crane put
him down with a bump
But his chassis got caught on
the lamp post stump.
Those sparks round Cecil made
him giggle with glee,
The street lights went out
and no one could see.
Don’t touch Cecil or you’ll get a shock,
More folk arrived though it was
now 12 o’clock.
The electricity van arrived with lights
flashing yellow,
Blue lights, red lights, now yellow ones too.
Sparks flashing here, and sparks flashing there
Cecil looked lovely in the colourful glare.

The electricity man came with his
screwdriver and tape
And fixed the cable and made it safe.

But no one had noticed Cecil’s petrol tank
With a hole in the bottom and one in the flank.
“What’s that smell?” said PC Trestle.
“It’s Esso 4 Star,” said poor old Cecil.
