Marmalades Revenge......Part Of A Long Poem Story Poem by karen sinclair

Please note... this is part of a book i am trying to write and is far from finished, based on characters i drew....or the other way round :)

'its a beautiful day, lets go for a lark' said Lady Marmalade 'i know Hyde Park! '
To her pal Lord Bailey, a short stout chap
'Oh whoopy! ' said he as he leapt on her lap
Before setting off they sat at the table
Gingham cloth, silverware as they called for Maid Mabel
Burnt toast, poached eggs, their just delight
Marmalade cross-legged
Bailey relished the sight
Mabel laid down two cups of Earl Grey
Whilst two happy chums made plans for the day

They would take Flamdunk the dog from next door
Who rarely got out, which they thought quite poor

Marmalade dashed off for her favourite toy
A bright yellow skateboard she'd took from a boy
Whilst Bailey leaned in his bestest toy box
Took out some poo sticks and some garish striped socks
His umbrella he grabbed as he dashed through the hall
Then round for Flamdunk, they went to call

The sun shone bright, flowers on parade
Smiled at Mabel who enthusiastically waved

They stood for the bus for quite a while
It arrived, they boarded, single file
Marmalade and Bailey first in the queue
Ran to the back... oh and Flamdunk did too!
They gazed out the window, so much to see
Poor Marmalade squashed, one on each knee
Dog on her left, Bailey her right
His unkempt bouffant, obscuring her sight
Sit on the seat Bailey, theres a good chap
Your crushing my knee, hurting my lap

Overexcited, unable to listen
Bailey gazed at the Thames 'Ooh how it glistens! '
'I cant said Marmalade getting hot
She gave him a shove and up she got
Moved to the seat on the opposite side
Showing Flamdunk a newly wed bride

Time rolled, the bus did too
Arrived at Hyde park, off they all flew
They got three ice-creams
A different one each
Chocolate Bailey, nut for her and Flamdink peach
Perched under a tree, watched world roll by
the world and his brother, a blink of the eye

After a while Marmalade rose
Cleared her throat, blew her nose
Gathered her board and dog on a lead
Upon the pavement she did procede
Flamdink on the floor started to worry
Off he moved in a terrible flurry
Dragging Marmalade wherever he went
She wondered if Flamdink was.... Hellbent
She called all ladylike, ' please slow down! '
Then a smile took over her wiley frown

'Im a natural! ' she shrieked forgetting her pride
Skirt hitched up-dog by her side

Now bailey knowing twas her first ever turn
Worried sickened, his stomach did turn
Grabbed his brolly and off in pursuit
Striped knee high socks and ill fitting suit

No plan had he but he'd bloody well try
Twas at that moment penny farthing rode by
Lend me your contraption, theres a good chap
No wait for an invite bailey leapt on lap
The man still peddling unable to see
blinded by baileys terrified screams

'Stop peddling theres a good fella
He leant to his left and used his umbrella
one good shunt it seemed a bit better
till he saw a small child compiling a letter
Grabbing the handle bars to steer on past
'Peddle dear fella, peddle man! fast! '
Young man did as he was told
Whilst considering Bailey, far too bold

Marmalade unaware of the pursuing kerfuffle
Reached in her sock side and whipped out a truffle
She moved it mouthbound her skirt went too
So now more than just socks were out for view
Knickerbockers a dazzling brilliant white
Reflecting the sunshine a magnificent sight

Meantime bailey was so nearly there
Reached with his brolley with no due care
Marmalade neck was his goal
He hooked ole Marme' and procede to pull
She choked on 'er sweet
raised off the ground, right off her feet

Converse, stripy socks, knickerbockers in flight
Landed square before...guess who, Lady Victoria
Unamused by the sight
Bailey said 'stop peddling theres a good chap'
Discretely deboarding the uncomfortable lap
They all stood before the queen
Whilst Marmalade worried over who'd been so mean
