Geronimo and the Bathroom Blunder.

Friend Jane was busy chatting,

With her female friends one night,

And Geronimo thought “Golly,

This really isn’t right.

It’s very boring listening,

To all this girlie stuff,

I think I’ll leave them to it,

Because I’ve had enough!”

While the others were distracted,

Bear tiptoed up the stairs

Quite sure that nothing in the world,

Would catch him unawares.

Before you could say “Crafty”

He was lounging in the bath,

And smiling “This is perfect,

I’m having the last laugh!”

Young Teddy sat back in the bath,

And then began to sigh,

“I’ve made the right decision,

Convinced of that am I!”

When he’d washed himself all over,

He really cut a dash,

And smirked “Now all that’s over,

It’s time to have a splash!”

In no time whatsoever,

He started exercising,

But then he spotted something,

Which was really quite surprising.

A most gigantic puddle,

Had appeared upon the floor,

Our chum grinned “Oh how funny,”

And began to splash some more!

But when it grew much bigger,

And the carpet was so wet,

He thought “This bright idea of mine,

Is something I’ll regret.

Not only is the floor soaked,

Water’s come up to my chest,

I’ll drown in half a second,

Which won’t be for the best!”

Geronimo was horrified,

And he began to yell,

“Will someone come and help me,

As things aren’t going well”.

His special friend ran up the stairs,

And opened up the door,

“What’s happened here?” she hollered,

“You’ve flooded half the floor!”

“I realise that!” wailed Teddy

“I’ve acted like a twit,

But now I’ve started sinking,

Which I don’t like one bit

Just how to cure this problem,

I really cannot think,

So as you can imagine,

I’m far from tickled pink!”

The little girl sighed heavily,

Then pulled out the small plug,

She glanced down at our furry friend,

And looked extremely smug.

“You see,” she told him wearily,

“that wasn’t hard to do,

On occasions such as this one,

I quite despair of you!”

Then as soon as she was able,

She wrapped him in a towel,

And when he was all dry again,

He quickly lost his scowl.

“From now on in,” he giggled,

“I’ll mess around no more,”

Then along with all the house guests,

He mopped the soaking floor!

THE END.
