The Cabbage Jam Paralysis Rag

They came in a sprout shaped
turbine propulsioned machine
Which was cleaned with complusion
and a wipe of emulsion
Once every other half year
They got comfortable
in houses of metal
wore holes in their trousers
grew vedgetable gardens
got generally settled

But lo + woe there was trouble in store
in a double horned
horse drawn mishapen form
who while blowing his horns
swarmed in on the cabbage jam factory
sat on the distillery
and immadiately started to eat
Until he floated
bloated and blearily
wearily off to sleep

Life went on drearily
with an inactive distillery
a seemingly intergalactic
cabbage jam shortage ensued

They developed a fashion
to queue in their passion
for rations of their favourite food
and pillaged
and pursued
the village garbage
for jam for a sandwich
And invented a home help cabbage machine
which was rented

But `tis apparrent
the air they say through
was transparent

Then they remembered
the horned form`s limbs were unnumbered

So they mobilised
with 3D
electric
picturesque
pogo sticks
and wended their intended way

When there they sussed
`twas just a cardboard copy
made in plastic
with bits of elastic
and invisible things which though dried
I couldn`t describe

just then the mishapen shape
started backfiring
and with speed and bad bad timing
flew off into the sky
