Observe his scowling murderous face,
His wicked eyes, his lack of grace,
Note well his long and crinkly tail.
And when it starts to swish and flail,
Oh gosh! Watch out! Jump back, I say,
And run till you’re a mile away.
The moment that his tail goes swish
He has but one determined wish,
He wants to make a sudden jump
And sting you hard upon your rump.

“Some horrid creepy crawly thing,
“D’you think it could be Stingaling?”
“What nonsense child! You’re teasing me.”
“I’m not, I’m not! It’s reached my knee!
“It’s going . . . going up my thigh!
“Oh mummy, catch it quickly! Try!
“It’s on . . . it’s on my bottom now!
“It’s . . . Ow! Ow-ow! Ow-ow! OW-OW!”

But worst of all, most dreadfully spoiled.
Whatever Roy desired each day,
