Dreadful Rodger

Dreadful Roger

The vegetable man

He sold them vegetables by the can

He sold them quick

He made them sick

Roger the vegetable man

Dreadful Roger’s vegetable store

He did good business after the war

And the flood and the plague

Though his sell-by-dates were vague

The people were starving and poor

Within the crumbling city

And the broken streets

Dreadful Roger waited

To give them their treats

Though they thought him quite gruff

Unpleasant and rude

While they were munching and crunching

Complaining and lunching

They realised they were eating dog food!

The strung him up from a lamp post

And burnt his shop

Tied him up

And made him hop

They formed a crowd to shout and berate him

Built a fire……..

Then they ate him!
