Isabella Caramella

Isabella
Caramella
has to wash her baby's hair.
Isabella
Caramella
has a cuddly teddy bear
and a cuddly brown gorilla and a green-and-red
      checked rabbit
and she's got a crocodile - his name is Cabot.
Isabella
Caramella
plays so sweetly in the sand.
Isabella
Caramella,
with a flower in her hand.
But if someone comes to visit and they happen to be
      vile,
she stops her game and whispers to her crocodile,
and her crocodile Cabot
is long overdue for lunch,
so he eats the nasty people up: CRUNCH, CRUNCH,
      MUNCH!
Like poor old Mrs. Bitterbreeze, who looked on children
      with disdain,
and the lady in the fur coat who was such an awful
      pain.
And the crocodile wolfs down Mr. Bowen near the
      trees,
down to the nasty last torn fragment of his nasty
      dungarees.
Isabella
Caramella,
where is Mrs. Bitterbreeze?
Did you perhaps see Mr. Bowen in his purple
      dungarees?
Can you tell me why that woman would have left
      without her shoe?
Isabella
Caramella
doesn't have a clue.
And she sits there
playing sweetly
with her green-and-red checked rabbit
and there beside her
in the garden
sits the crocodile Cabot.
Isabella
Caramella
says, "That was that!" and "There!"
Isabella
Caramella
has to wash her baby's hair.
