The Tragedy at Mini-Beastie Hall

In Beastington a family lived, who made a "Beasts R You,"

It was a section of a garden - well, a mini-beastie zoo.

  The little creatures all moved in and crawled around the wall,

  And the lovely name they gave their home was Mini-Beastie Hall.

"Let's throw a lovely party, if the family gives consent.

We'll plan a meal, arrange some games, get invitations sent."

  The news got round, the day arrived, guests came to "Beasts R You".

  What a really lovely place to live, it's exactly like a zoo."

A ladybird, a grasshopper, slugs and worms came too -

It was such a nice occasion and the party grew and grew.

  One brought his own computer - the spider's name was Fred.

  "I've had a lovely thought" he said "You can learn to surf the web."

"A computer's such an asset for your lovely little park

I'll teach you how to crawl the web - if you wait until it's dark!

  I don't want you to bug it, or to introduce a worm -

  I'll only teach you one by one - just wait and take your turn."

So, one by one they entered: "Just what can we achieve?" -

But a tragic thing then happened, for no-one seemed to leave.

  Mini Beastie Hall went quiet, there was no-one on the wall -

  Which was really not surprising - Fred had eaten one and all.
