.4. Take Ten To One Poem by David Threadgold

.4. Take Ten To One

Rating: 5.0


I read it in the papers
A whisper on the breeze
The radio announced it would
But TV thought a wheeze

The butcher told the tailor
The tailor told his cloth
A bat flew from the belfry
And stopped to tell a moth

A sailor heard the story
Knew well what he must do
He rushed back to the cock and bull
To tell the whole ship’s crew

The ship’s crew had a whip round
To bookies they must go
Before they lose the ten to one
Predicting Christmas snow
