THEY’RE A PAIR OF HORNED HOUDINIS,

You might even call them genies And their appetite for mischief is immense One is Maya, one is Lucy They believe that grass is juicy When it’s growing on the far side of the fence

I’m the one who did the digging, Built the fence with all its rigging, More secure than Colditz Castle, so I thought They went under, over, round it Where a loophole lay they found it And went munching on the things they didn’t ought

Like a magnet to their noses Were the most expensive roses While the flower border never stood a chance Through the spinach, beets and rocket Adding health foods to their docket They continued on their free and merry dance

Now the umpteenth sortie’s ended And once more the fence is mended There’ll be peace now for a little while at least See them round the pen go trotting Now with beards together, plotting They are cooking up another breakout feast But this time I’ll have them beaten Not another shrub gets eaten Not another Queen Elizabeth destroyed For I’ve called up my supplier Bought more coils of razor wire The perimeter has landmines all deployed

And there’s searchligh­ts that will function Set at every gate and junction With motion sensors, cameras and the like See their yellow eyes a-gleaming I won’t fear their sneaky scheming Each plan defeated by pre-emptive strike

Now I just can’t help but wonder If I made a silly blunder When I gave that goatish pair a vaulting horse And it’s rather hard to follow Why the ground here rings so hollow And their bleating sounds like little bursts of Morse

What’s that Maya’s got beside ‘er? Could it be a working glider? And where did Lucy get that set of keys? Raise the shields round all the flowers Snipers, quickly mount your towers And someone send for reinforcem­ents, PLEASE....
