Reckless Sam had a wonderful plan,

'Everybody stop by that little oasis'
A quizzical look came over Ben and Barney's faces
Elf saw a chance for a biscuit and a dance
So opened up the cookies and had a salsa prance

Sam got a drill and said, 'lets bore down'
I think there will be oil just under the ground
So the drill started whizzing and they waited to strike oil
But instead they hit a pipe and steam fizzed from the soil

Troll went bright red and shouted, 'hot hot hot'
Hopped around and fanned his rather portly butt
He wasn't pleased with Reckless Sam for trying to find the oil
He didn't like the feeling when his arse was partly boiled

In the distance was a camel with a sheik upon it
When he got a little nearer they could hear a Shakespeare sonnet
Barbie and Anna Gram swooned at the words
But Mabel preferred limericks and thought the sheik absurd

'There once was a sheik on a camel
Who over the dessert did travel
He recited a poem
That made people groan
So Mabel took charge and said,
'Ban it!'

Boris gave the camel a peanut butter sandwich
And spoke to the sheik in an arabical language
The sheik turned around and set off for Dubai
Elf shouted, 'let's be off, doesn't time fly'

'I know what you mean,' said the Lady of Renown
As a clockaburrow bird settled on the ground
So they all bundled in
the olde ford and toodled off
Reckless Sam had an idea
but Troll groaned,
'That's enough!!!'
