Six Brave Explores

 

 

 

 

Six Brave Explores took Nicholas McCleese on a trip,

 

The group went out to look around; soon up this bird did slip.

 

Nicholas didn't like the way this great big bird arrived,

 

The large bird's wings knocked one man down, Nicholas was left with five.

 

 

 

"We can not let this get us down; there's much to be explored,"

 

Nicholas thought, "These men are crazy"; plus he was getting bored.

 

Next there came a graceful cobra, the snake of ancient lore,

 

One man yelled, "I need a doctor," then there were only four.

 

 

 

As they continued on their journey, Nicholas missed his friends.

 

This trip was one that Michael and Andy just could not attend.

 

Just as the four brave explorers stopped for a cup of tea,

 

A panther scared one man, who fainted, then there were but three.

 

 

 

Nicholas now jumping at every shadow, just wanted to go home.

 

Marion was such a wonderful place so far from where he'd roamed.

 

Next they saw a hyena laugh so hard that he turned blue,

 

Then one man fell over laughing, and they were left with two.

 

 

 

Two brave explorers know that Nicholas must be tired.

 

But then they saw a set of eyes that looked to be afire.

 

Nicholas said, "Let's go right now, this doesn't look like fun."

 

But one man fell into a trance and then there was but one.

 

 

 

Finally, Nicholas spoke up and said, "On this I must insist;

 

It's time for us to leave this place or I'm a soloist."

 

"Through many pretty and exciting places I've been led,

 

But I am very sleepy, and must go home and go to bed."
