The Amazing Miss Shinies
Were dressed at their best
They were going to climb the Everest!
(Or that's what they'd tell Ajmal.)
They stuffed their bags
And bought new glares
And decided to wear fl ares.
(Though they weren't really in fashion.)
Fatauntie came bouncing around
Wearing only one stiletto
And a hat like a crow.
(It seemed to caw a fair bit, too.)
“You're going trekking?
I want to come, too!
Besides, I can carry you."
(Fatauntie boinged up and down.)
Now the Shinies had thought
Fatauntie was a beach bum.
Why would she want to come?
(And what could she climb with a stilleto?)
She jumped off their roof
As if she knew what they were thinking
And as if to show them proof.
(There popped open a parachute.)
“Where's Thinauntie?"
The Amazing Miss Shinies asked.
“She's busy drinking burnt tea."
(It was Thinauntie's favourite.)
“I'm a regular mountain goat,"
Said Fatauntie on their way.
“And boy, can I row a boat!"
(She wasn't very humble.)
